Couple of hands

So I don't face many tough decisions at the $50 level anymore. Or, at least, decisions that I don't immediately see what I did wrong/right after reviewing it a bit more in-depth.

This hand gives me a bit more pause.

Turn: ($18) Thttp://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...iles/spade.gif (4 players)
Hero thinks... checks, BB bets $10, UTG calls $10, CO folds, Hero lets time bank run down a bit... raises to $45.15 (All-In)

I called the flop raise intending to peel one off and look for a non-heart, and it ended up marginally improving my hand. I don't know whether to bet or check that turn initially, and then after the sizable bet and a call, I don't know what fold equity I really had. That being said, I thought there was a good chance I had the best hand on the turn anyway and it could still reasonably improve. Of course, it would also be stupid to raise into a made straight (if either of them had one), but calling also seemed stupid on that double-suited board. And folding seemed weak, but maybe was the best play.

I don't think I made a terrible play, but I would like input, because I don't think it was best.

Also: a bit less exciting, but I really wanted to fold this river. thoughts? No reads, just sat down at the table a few orbits ago.

Final Pot: $48.25

Not sure what to think about shorty, but I think I'm beat here by one of them (on the flop, no less) often enough. Then again, I don't have to be good here very often for this to be profitable. I'm definately leaning towards fold.

*bump*

I really would appreciate some feedback.

1) I'm probably pushing here too. I mean, depends on reads, what you think others can have, how they've played before and yada yada yada (ie: "it depends"), but I'm probably going broke here. You have trips with a straight draw....

2) AK on boards like that, especially at NL50 level with that action, is probably no good.

i 3 bet hand one against players who arent folding big draws here to bloat the pot and get it all in in the turn.
As played i play it the same mostly, i think you have to c/r all in but thats cerainly my turn line.

Fold hand2, AK no good. You dont exactly beat much do you?
