BTW, great answers guys. I loved the details on why you would call/fold.

Hand 1

I raised pre-flop, SB bet into me. I raised the flop and the BB value bets into me on the turn. Either he really liked that Ten or he's trapping. I figured the BB for 2 pair, straight or set, and who the #$*% knows what the SB has. Between the chance I'm drawing dead and a second player that I'm going to have to show the winning hand to and I decided to lay this one down.

Hand 2
If he's got 2 pair, the pot is already big and I got outs. No way he puts me on a Jack kicker limping in from the SB. So, I figure he shows me a flush draw (he's probably capable of this semi-bluff) or weaker Ace often enough to make this call. Had to think about it for a bit and brace for the worst, but it worked out.
