    I am no professional. That said...

    Raise more preflop.
    Raise more preflop.

    Hand no. 2 should be a push, I think. You're getting about 3:1 to call I think (bet $7 to win about $20, if I have the odds right - usually use percentages).

    Hand no.1 is interesting. I can't really put him on a hand... AQ? Uncle!

    FWIW you do have the draw to the nut flush. I'm confused. I say "screw it" and call.

    1- It's important to reraise more preflop to decrease implied odds so that you can Push the Flop. Now that you're here however I would fold as I would wait until I had a read on somebody before getting myself into a marginal situation.

    2- Again, you've underbet both pre and postflop again. I would go All In although I wouldn't be surprised to see a two pair or straight with a Flop like that. But all you have to do is beat the big stack and you'll still make money so you don't need to worry about the tiny stacks.
    What's the difference between a large cheese pizza and a poker player?

    A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

    Thank you for the replies.. I didn't think my betting preflop was too little, I thought that 4xBB was fine when first in, and the second was ok too. Apparently I should bet more, but what is the right amount then? The odds of a set on the flop for a PP is about 1:8, so I should bet 1/5 or so of their stack? (or mine stack, which ever is smallest..).

    Anyway, the results were as follows:
    hand #1: I couldn't really put him on a hand.. I thought it was either a poorly played AQ, or a poorly played QQ/55/77. The last option seemed most likely, so I folded. He told in the chat that it was TT and he wanted to ''stop my draw''.. A bit later he said he put me on AA and this all-in would be ''too risky too call''. Weird.
    hand #2: The board indicated a possible QJ. I didn't want to believe (still thinking a bit about hand#1 earlier.. That's bad, I know), and AK or AhQh seemed more likely, so I called. Of course he turned over QJo. Looking back, I see that the preflop raise wasn't big enough..
