#1 - yup
#2 - raise or fold preflop. Limping unsuited trash from middle pos is a recipe for disaster.

#1 I lead the flop unless you had reason to know he will bet. It takes a gapper to make a straight so I am paying it off if he managed it. Good push.
#2 What he said.

Got it, kinda knew it

He was tight so i figured he would atleast make a c/bet...

1. I typically like to raise PPs so in a situation like this where you have a PP that you cant reraise with and you simply have to call its tough to play when you hit your set OOP. Typically I check to the PFRer expecting him to put in another bet and then will raise and lead the turn. This board has horrible texture, FD+SD and even if your opponent doesnt have either there are plenty of cards that will kill your action. These are arguments for leading, so this board I would consider it, Im just not sure what I think of leading into the PFRer. Again though, if Im checking this I am definitely putting a raise in when he bets.

2. Fold preflop, what did you want to hit with a hand like this? Your line isnt bad, but your hand isnt great so I would just try to avoid this situation all together

1. I like your line. It's a draw-heavy board, so you can be pretty certain he's going to bet. I assume you checked the turn, which I also like, still representing a draw. The push is good, considering he only has $13 behind. Well-played.

2. Fold pre-flop.
