1 - looks good, although I do think you're often ahead on the river...but would want a read to value bet/shove.

2 - seems ok. usually I'd check/call the flop, and bet more on the turn - maybe 3/4 pot.

also I usually raise to 5 pre flop after a limp, especially oop, but could see possible benefits to less.

1: raise more preflop, shove/check river is both fine I guess.
2: raise more preflop, check/call flop. As played bet close to pot at turn/river.

this isn't possible. If theres any addition ev in shoving, then checking is clearly the inferior play.

Yes

Hand 1: People suck, shove river.
Hand 2: I think anyone who calls $8 here calls $12. I think I would just pot it.

I think you might as well tell your op your hole cards if you're going to play a line like this.

 On hand 1 i think the check behind is good... it looks like a pair and a straight draw. He's probably a check raise kind of guy since he obviously missed a check raise on the flop.

Or he's retarded, but we'll assume he's not utterly stupid.

With 4 to a flush how tricky can we get? Our opponent may call with a worse heart so we might as well get value by actually making a standard size bet.

I'd just rather take a more aggressive line then a check/call. It was more that call I don't like.

 at which point shoving is still the better play, because of metagame.

 I usually check here on hand 1 as well. Then again, I'm also the kinda guy to call OP's shove with two pair....

Most of the field will tank for about 15 seconds, maybe type something cute in the chat window, then make that call.
