Yeah, your bet is too small and may look weak. Once the turn hits then it is an easy fold.
Hand 2, nasty spot to be in, I probably fold this pf, I just hate playing in the sb but I imagine I am quite nittish in that regard.
He probably has AK but meh you might as well fold on the flop, only 4 cards help you and lot of cards are just horrible, combine that with being oop means fold to 3 bet looks best to me.

Wow. Hand 1 seems pretty rough to me with no reads. Obviously bet more on the flop but you know that. I think I'm willing to get it all-in vs an unknown on the flop.

The turn makes it an obvious fold as you're now behind all the hands in his range that you were beating.

Hand 2, I think it's a good spot for a 3bet preflop. I don't like playing out of position to 2 players vs a mini-raise. If you just call, the BB is coming along most of the time and you have to play the entire hand in horrible position.

JQ is a solid hand when a villain's range is well-defined, but this miniraise basically tells you nothing. I fold to the flop 3bet as there are hardly any turn cards which help your hand here.

hand 2: calling on the flop and then not continuing when a blank comes off is a big leak. fold the flop if you don´t have the balls to call on the turn anyways. so either push flop or fold.

hand 1:I´m calling the turn here. it´s quite an overbet but I have never seen villain´s bluff minraising fd... but maybe that´s wrong.

Hand1 easy 3bet. 4.5 into 7 is totally normal. You don't need to cbet pot every time to take it down, its just spewage.

Hand2 I decide to felt it or not to felt on the flop. Calling and folding turn is terrible. I probably fold to the 3bet. Bet/3bet is always a monster.

I disagree. Sure, you don't need to bet pot on whiffed flops just "to take it down", but here we have a strong hand on a flush draw board. I feel a lot more comfortable betting closer to pot as a flush draw will make up a substantial portion of villain's calling range.

Hand two I think is decided on the flop. If you call his re-raise, you can't fold to the deuce on the turn.

he min-raised pre-flop, then tried to get money into the pot with a minimum bet and re-raised your decent raise. I, personally, and folding and paying more attention to him here.

I think you have the best hand a lot here. This guy seems to exude plenty of random aggression. Hand 1 is ok, but as others have pointed out in hand 2, calling the flop 3bet and then folding the turn is bad. Either don´t fold ever in the hand or fold the flop.
