Hand 1 I'm ok with, because V is so passive. Against someone more agro I would blocking bet the river.

Hand 2

This is the kind of board where everyone thinks they have outs, including the guy with AQo. We have a gutterball and a backdoor flush draw that probably wont be good if we get action. An As and Qs are scary cards for us, and if one falls we end up going to valuetown.

On top of the 'nobody folding' problem, if CO has any kind of made hand, we're stuck getting the rest of his stack in at some point.

You took it down, but you really should want a lot more information on your opponents before you make a move like this. I doubt anyone as passive as CO here is looking at your move and thinking "Squeeze!", but with only 4 clean outs this is pretty much a pure bluff.
