Your bet sizing is making these decisions tougher than they have to be.
On hand one your hand is under repped your acting like you have a J and then checking the river screams "bluff me"
On hand two, instead of calling two weak bets on two streets for a total of $.54 try raising and taking this down now.
By the way, try giving a read or two to your HH's, it makes things a little easier. What did your notes say? What do they say now?
