Some OESD hands

I was a bit lost on these, I've been reading here a fair amount and it seems semi bluffing draws like these is a good approach. In all these places though I couldn't really find a good way of being aggressive.

CO in this hand was minraising most hands pre flop and often betting the minimum post flop.

This hand was very early on, I'd seen villian bet aggressively and showdown a decent hand. The minraise preflop immediately rang alarm bells, but I couldn't fold with those odds could I? Flop I think is a questionable call, I figure to have at least 6 clean outs to the straight but maybe as many as 8. Implied odds on the flop of about 6/1 so I peeled. I thought about pushing but was really confident of him having AA/KK here so FE practically zero, plus him likely holding some of my outs made me lean towards a fold.
Looking back on it now I think I should probably have folded.

I'm going to post this FD hand too as it is a similar situation. Villian is Mr min raise from the first two hands. Again in this hand I really wanted to put some pressure on him but the pot was too small to push and I was oop so if I got called the turn would be tricky to play.

So like I said, I was a bit lost on these so ended up playing them really passively. Did I play them really badly or was a passive line approprate? None of the draws were really that great, at most 8-9 outs and often not that many, plus most of the time I was oop.

Comments appreciated.
