i wasn't sure what to make of his limp/re-raise on 3rd, i put him on a high pair in the hole as i couldn't see him raising with 3 cards to a 8 low. i wasn't sure whether i should give this up at some point, i decided to call on 5th street as i thought he had a high hand as he 3bet 4th so i could probably split if i make my low and my aces may even be good for the high. is this just too optimistic reasoning and should i got out?

this hand is kinda similar i'm not sure what to do. i decided to bluff raise 5th in hopes of getting seat 2 (who i thought was going low) out so i could play heads up with the high hand and try and win the whole pot.

i got lucky in both hands to make trips late on in the hand, but should i be folding these unimproved big pairs early on?
