Whoops! For what it's worth, I tried to use this site's hand converter, but couldn't post it because I have less than 10 posts at the moment...

Thanks for the advice, JKDS. I understand what you mean about the second hand, since there was a flush draw and an overcard, I should have played my set much faster.

In the first hand, I was concerned about having three opponents get a free card and pairing, since I figured that there was one other ace out there. It sounds like I should have treated it more like a drawing hand, since I was drawing to the nuts? Thanks again, and happy holidays.
