Hands were played on pacific poker and i don't know how to get normal hand histories from there so i wrote them down.

I'd like some advice on how you play them or what you think i did wrong in these hands. I find playing certain hands in the blinds very tricky..

6-max 0.5/1 $

hand1: KdJc in the BB
villain is a pretty aggressive player.
villain open raises on the button, sb folds, hero three bets, villain caps, hero calls
flop:
9s Jh 4h
hero checks, villains bets, hero raises, villain reraises, hero calls
when he three bet me here i thought i could have folded it there..
turn:
5h
hero checks, villains bets, hero calls
and when the flush also arrives i think i should have let it down?
river:
4s
hero checks, villains bets, hero calls
villain flipped over AA

hand2: hero is BB with Ks2s
loose table in general..
utg folds, mp raises, co calls, button calls, sb calls, hero calls
easy call with 1-9?
flop:
Ts Qs 5h
sb checks, hero checks, mp bets, co calls, button calls, sb calls, hero raises, MP reraises, co calls, button calls, sb folds, hero calls
with already 4 in the pot i thought i could get value out of it if i raised on this flop but i was also aware of the fact that mp might reraise me and knock the others out of the pot, so i didn't really know what was the best option..
turn:
5d
hero checks, mp bets, co calls, button folds, hero calls
river:
Kd
hero checks, mp bets, co folds, hero calls
i think in a pot like this i can not fold for just one bet on the river with top pair, even considering how it was played?

 Hand 1: Fine.
Hand 2: cap the flop, 4 way, flush draw = easy cash. Did you river him lol?

 Hand 1: I do not like raising these aggressive players, at least not on the flop, there is more value to be gained raising them on later streets. Also, I do not like doing it and showing down a semi marginal hand like KJo. By 3betting marginal hands it tips the aggro player that you are on to him. Why let him know? If you just call him down the whole way here he will keep doing this over and over. I do not like raising habitual bluffers, it encourages them to stop bluffing, we don't want to do that. Only time I'll raise them is when I can show them a very strong hand, so in their minds Im still a tight nit.

Hand 2: Not much you could do different in this hand. I like the flop raise b/c you get a ton of extra value out of your flush draw if no one has the nut draw. The turn call is good as a raise is -EV with less than 5 total players in the pot and the board paired. The river call is automatic. If you had a better read on MP you could think about folding/raising this river. Then again, its all read dependent.
