two two pairs

[Man of Means]

Both hands occur in the Foxwoods 5/10 kill game. In one of these hands, I check/call the river and in the other I check/fold. I won't say which.

Hand 1: Just sat down and got right in the natural big blind. There is a full kill on in UTG+1, which means we go to 10/20 this hand. No reads in particular but assume this is a standard passive-aggressive loose small stakes game. Villain is neither Asian nor wild looking.

Hero has 76 offsuit in the BB.
UTG+1 (killer) checks, 3 limpers, SB calls the $10, Hero completes BB to kill for $5 more.

Killer checks out of turn and a couple others check before I get a chance to defend my action but it doesn't check through and dealer says "oh yes, action starts here"
SB checks, I bet, killer calls, all others fold.

I bet, he raises, I call

Hand 2 :
No kill so it's regular 5/10. Raiser in this hand could have a pocket pair or two high cards. Everyone is fairly straightforward (I'm not saying good) postflop.

Hero limps red 44 UTG. 1 limper (villain), MP raises, 2 coldcalls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop (6 players, 12 SB)
6-5-3 rainbow
BB makes a stutter bet, hero raises, villain coldcalls, others fold, BB calls.

Turn (3 players, 9 BB): 8 putting up 2 spades
BB checks, hero bets, villain raises, BB folds, hero calls

River (13 BB): 8 no flush obv.
