1 is fine other lines you coul take this is ok too though

raise flop in 2 his bet is so weak. Bit close w/ utg still in but still raise.

HAND 2:
Can you explain why you want to raise his flop bet. I thought about this as well but came to the conclusion that calling is probable best. But I'd be curious if you'd want to explain more.

Here are my thoughts:
- UTG is still left to act...yikes.
- If we raise and get called our Ace is no longer likely good.
- If we raise and get pushed on, depending on who does the pushing, we'll likely have to fold.
- We're getting a good price to draw and DON'T want to raise out a lower flush draw.
- If villain has middle pair or less, we still have over 50% equity, so I'm fine with taking a passive route (not sure if this makes sense, but it does in my guy somehow...not sure what that means...meh).

I don't like hand 1. If you're happy to get it in on that turn, I prefer c/c flop c/r turn. I think you have more fold equity that way and you don't mind him checking behind if you brick. If you make your hand you can play it however you want.

Hand 2 looks good.

HAND 1:
What happens when you check-raise the turn and Villain calls and the river blanks are you pushing the river when you have little FE? Point is look at stack sizes, your line is pretty awkward. I agree OPs original choice was akward as well. Bet / 3-bet flop is better.

HAND 2:
(See my above notes)
