Hand 1: Without a read, i think a fold is fine on the turn, you were probably behind on the flop, im guessing either a flopped set or tt-qq. I don't really mind the call on the flop, because you don't want your opps thinking they can minraise you off a low board like that.

Hand 2: If it were me, i would raise the 9s pf. If you are going to check raise here, you need to raise more. I would probably just call tho and reevaluate on the turn. Turn play is way too weak imo. I think that there's a good chance you have the best hand here, but you need to find out. You are only behind a str8, and the 9 only really completed a gutshot str8 draw with a hand like a10. I don't think mp2 would be raising a5, so you should only be concerned with 55 or 1010 here. I would probably lead out the turn for about $10, and then consider folding to a raise. The problem with check/calling is it doesn't let you know where you are at. Your line looks like a classic flopped set: limp calling a raise and then weakly raising a bet on the flop. So if your opp is somewhat aware he will put you on this, meaning if he raises the turn you can be pretty sure you are behind.

Don't forget you have 9 outs for the boat, 1 for quads, and 8 for a straight.
My sig is too much for you to handle.
