h1: oops! flop is scary to raise at, just call. i'd raise the turn because his 120 bet just says he wants to see the river cheaply, i shove river.

h2: bet around 250-270 so we can shove turn...

Hand 1: Pushing PF is an option I like. As played, raise the flop.

Edit: Pushing PF might not be best option, but is one. Calling is good.

Hand 2: Raise more PF. Bet 2/3 pot or more on the flop. Push turn.

I like hand 1 on this ugly flop. I see no point in raising the flop as if he shove we would have to call and are behind most of the time. You can not fold after that as the bet are too small.

Hand 2, bet more on the flop (t200). Turn is a shove. As played, call of course.
