Need some help with a few hands.
I have two hands that im not quite sure if I played them right. The first hand im dealt pocket 8s and I don't really like the board on the turn. My opponent is a tighty, basically the only hands he has shown were suited/unsuited broadways, PP's and one SC.

On the flop he calls my bet, basically my thoughts were that he had a pair nothing more nothing less. The turn I thought was ugly and didn't want to see a river of a diamond or a Q - T. After he folded to my bet brought me to the conclusion that he may have had a small pair or QJ, but I might be way off.
Next hand.
Villian1, is a tighty as well and have only seen good hands from him. He also doesn't like to bet unless he has a hand. Villian2, had just sat at the table recently and couldn't really say much about him. No hands from him have been shown.

It might not have been a good idea to raise this guy seeing how he is tight, not sure about that one but I did it anyway. What suprised me was that Villian2 just simply calls this huge raise. Flop was all low just what I wanted to see(a queen would have been better, but im not picky). The pot is $4.15 and I have $4.40 behind. I felt that if I bet out any resonable amount here it would look fishy and they would fold any, maybe not. With the push I wanted to give the impression that I was trying to steal this pot and get calls from hands like AK, AQ, and mid PPs. In addition to that there was 2 opponents still in the pot and I didn't particually like that, seeing how I didn't have much behind.
Any thoughts on the plays in either of my hands BAD or GOOD, I would love to hear them.
As a side note, I have been buying in short($2) because my BR is exremely small. I won a freeroll($5) and my BR has gone up to around $55 and down to $2 then up to $40 and now down to about $20+. Real rollercoaster ride.
