    My initial thoughts are that i had to get my money in on the first one and i should have reraised preflop on the second to see where i was.

    The first hand you have to raise the flop because of the flush draw. You got all of your chips in with the best hand and you lost, can't do much about that.

    Hand Two you never know where you stand the entire time. You have to know something is up when he calls your check/raise and then your $10 bet on the turn. I probably slow down on the river. Also he raised UTGish so you need to know his range. Now that you have PT that should help you with reads.

    Agreed on both. On the 2nd, you coulda reraised PF, but sometimes you want to call to see if you hit anything good to clean up. You could just put him on Ax or something. I think he put you on a K and just decided to bleed you...just a good play (yet a bit risky) on his part.
