lol!! i'm sad you posted the results because those were the two hands i was going to post as my guess! stbm.... the first hand I say there's probably very little chance of getting away from that. On the second one I say your beat and may want to fold to the min raise.

I've found that potting the flop on draw boards/lots of donks calling your raise preflop ties me to the hand too much and I end up having to overplay the turn. Your hands are strong on the flop but not so much with that many people. I tend to put in a 2/3 bet and try to set up blocking bets on the turn/river when you get a caller. If I get raised at any point it's usually obvious my TP/overpair is not that strong and I can bail without feeling overly commited.

Granted this is fairly transparent way to play, backing away from strength, but at this level you rarely see people raising the turn/river with less than 2 pair.

just my opinion at the moment
