I'm very picky with the tables I play on and switch tables at the end of the orbit if the dynamic changes (i.e. two or more fish leave). I know this is more time-consuming, but I profit more in the end.
Hand 2... I agree I probably should have just called the flop. As I mentioned, a five would make my hand worthless unless I get lucky on the river giving me a full house. Also, seeing another club would force me to slow-down.
The flop raising would never eliminate someone else with a five, but it might eliminate people holding a 7 or 2 for a gutshot incase that five did fall. Then my trips might be good at showdown. Hmm... looks like I threw myself in a circle here. From how many people called the raises, I assume some people stuck around with just a gutshot anyway. I might as well have waited for the turn and slowed down. Thankfully here I got lucky and things worked out.

Hand 2. that flop 3 bet is only good if you think you can get a lot of them to call you. Otherwise, i just call to hope to keep people in to make the pot large. Caopping the river is read dependent.

Final Pot: 22.50 BB
Once again, a fish re-raising against 4-to-a-straight! This time with a two-pair he made on the river. (He had 96.)
PF: This was a loose table and I could tell a multi-way pot was coming up. 55 is a mighty fine hand here.
Flop: I wasn't sure if re-raising or calling would be the better play here. It was a large pot and I had a small edge, so I really think calling would have been better. If a five came on the turn, I'd be fucked. Still, the table was loose enough to call my re-raise, so my mistake paid off nicely.
Turn and River: Value betting. I made two possible errors here. I could have called the raise to induce overcalls (and I'd be beat if someone held 75 anyway). And I could have capped the betting on the river against the fish. I should have realized 75 would have probably been far more aggressive on the flop and turn and not given him credit for it.
Thankfully the player was fishy enough where I actually made more money by re-raising instead of calling.

This is the prime example of fishes only paying attention to their cards: "I have a set (He had TT)! I'll cap the river against 4-to-a-straight!"
I think he expected me to bet the turn so he could throw in a re-raise there. I actually wish I bet the turn as a semi-bluff.
Funny thing... I forgot I had a gutshot along with my flush draw on the turn. I completely misread the board there. I was paying so much attention to my flush draw I forgot about the gutshot! Thankfully I realized I had the straight on the river!
Lately I've been fond of check-raising my strong draws but here I was in a later position and afraid no one would bet. Also, I should still be betting out my strong draws sometimes to make me more difficult to read.
