The first hand i put the other guy on a Mid PP, maybe a weak K, so i was happy with check calling the two bets.
The second hand was just redemption.
Any thoughts?

Hand 1: Unless you have a strong read on the raiser, I dont like calling a raise with KJ suited or not. Your flop bet is fine, after that flop you think you may have the best hand. After getting two callers on the flop the flush card comes down and you bet again???? I really dont like this bet at all, there is now a good chance you are drawing dead. The hand converter is a little unclear so I'm not sure if you check called the river or bet again.

Hand 2: this hand pretty much plays its self. Though it is nice to hold the nuts and have a bet , a raise and a reraise in front of you.

Still dont like the way you played the first hand. The only reason you call the turn bet is you think you still have the best hand, in which case you need to raise here. There are now a ton of draws that beat you, and club pretty much kills you, any other broadway card scares you. Personally I probably check fold the turn.
