Villain is on the laggy side but not too far out of line - early in the session:

StacksHero: £76.35

SB checks, CO bets £5, Hero raises to £16, SB folds, CO raises to £35, Hero raises to £74.35 and is all-in, CO is all-in £25.75

hand 1: call the flop. keep the pot small. no point 4 betting... nothing you beat calls you. On the turn I get my money in there. That said, I've lost all my $$ on a set v flopped flush/straight too many times... I can't fault your play too much

hand 2: raise the flop. As played you pretty much have to just call the turn and hope you hit. You're 2:1 to hit and you're getting that much, so assuming non-zero implied odds calling is ++EV

Hand 1: Nasty. I'd be crapping myself knowing that I probably had the best hand, but would probably lose if another heart came out. It seems to me that the villian is on a flush draw. I take it he got his flush...

Hand 2: You have a draw to a straight and a flush, but only after the turn. I'd have to say that I might not have seen the turn after the 1/2 pot bet he threw out on the flop. If I had stuck around, I'd havecalled him, but probably not re-raised him.

 Hand 2, why the flop call? Obviously it's not an ABC move, but what reads did you have on him that made you call that flop? Is he the type to c-bet and shut down if he's called?

That 9s is the sexiest card in the deck, the push looks fine.
Listen to my music

Why the flop call? Because I had him as slightly laggy and figured his flop bet was likely to be a regular c-bet, so I called intending to raise any turn. Then I hit my ideal card, AND he bet big, so I thought I'd push - I hardly ever make moves like this and I think I lose value because of it.

I personally like the play if your read is right.

Id raise the flop if i was going to pull a move.
I take a turn card in hand 1 after the flop 3bet but im not folding here either. KQs or JJ look possibles.
