Hand 1: reraise 3x in position (in this case to $12) and 3.5x OOP with 100 BB. the cont bet is fine but give up when he raises.

Hand 2: reraise pre. As played, fold flop. If you are going to attempt to bluff on this board at all (which you probably shouldn't) either raise larger on the flop or float.

In general your raises need to be bigger.

 same as Massimo's advice but a little added.
Hand 1: you can fold as played, your repping something strong and he doesnt seem to care.
Hand 2: I don't bet the turn when he calls my raise the is harder on the flop (If you don't threebet but plz do)

i think this is just a bad habit of "clicking 3 times" to the right. i think it's a lot, but it actually isn't.

maybe i should just use the keyboard from now on :P

 lol, sorry better english below.
On hand 2: as played, I don't bet the turn. He called the flop there's no reason to think he's folding the turn to no scare card.
However, i'd advocate if you are going to raise his c bet to raise it at least 3x, in which i'd also not firing out another one on the turn.

But if we threebet, which we probably should, this hand plays out a lot easier and differently.
