Hand 1: The opponent has been playing a 26/16 game with 3.5 aggression factor, although not over many hands. I haven't been playing that long and haven't seen anything particularly interesting happen with him.
Here I make a standard raise OTB with QJ and flop an open-ended straight draw. I make a standard C-bet and he calls. When he checks to me again on the turn, how would you play? My thoughts were that I didn't think he was that strong as I would expect him to check-raise the flop with something like AT or a set. I thought if I bet again he would probably fold and I also have quite a few outs (with the Q and J being possible outs too). I thought a bet was in order here. Thoughts?

Hand 2: Another situation I have trouble with. I open-raise OTB with K9 and the SB calls. Flop is 982 with two hearts and he bets into me. He was 35/10 with an infinite aggression factor, albeit over a small sample size.
Here I decided to raise. Sometimes I would just call here and see what he does on the turn but I wanted to protect my hand if he had a straight draw / flush draw and he might be betting with a worse pair (or 9 with weaker kicker) thinking I would have overcards. He then re-pops me and I think I have to fold.
A further question here would be: If I flat call his flop bet, a safe card comes on the turn, and he continues to bet into me on the turn, what would you do? I have trouble in spots like this because if I call on the flop to see what they do on the turn, they often will bet into me and i'm unsure of what to do.
