Set-over-set situations

Decent (tight-passive) opponents. Second hand is unavoidable, first hand is an easy fold to his 3-bet right? I misplayed them too, I know.

Hand 1, I would probably raise the flop, but calling is fine too. But why are you not betting the turn? You are giving up precious value to AA-QQ and other hands with showdown value by not betting the turn.

Hand 2, I would raise preflop, but if table is full of bad players, I don't mind limp/calling. I would lead for pot on the flop ($10) and 3-bet. As played, make it $45, and bomb the turn. Also, you should just push after you get raised on the turn. Any 3-bet here commits villian.

i try to get all the money in on the flop in both of them, but im still going broke

Hand 1: I dont like the turn check, you let him outdraw you with a hand like AA/KK/QQ etc, but even 9x (which he probably dont have becuse of the UTG rasie).

Hand 2: I don't like the pre-flop call from UTG. I would either raise or fold the so I can take the command in the hand. At the flop I would re-raise and if he push again I would really concider to fold. The way the hand was played now I would push him all in when he re-rasie me so I dont have to cry and call when he push insted.

Hand 1 betting the turn is a must, build the pot to get all your chips in on the river. The river is fine, you can't fold for your last $100 there getting roughly 3-1.

Hand 2 is somewhat standard, except I three bet the flop with the million draws on board. Any heart could kill your action or worse, beat you. I'm not folding a set here either way so if he reraises the flop again I'm pushing.
