Hand 2: Checking the flop is OK, but if you do that then checking the turn is BAD. He's not going to call the river unless he hit something, but he might call a small bet on the flop or turn in hopes of connecting with his AK. You might consider a donk bet on the flop with such a strong hand or, if you elect to check, a 2/3 pot bet on the turn.
I've begun re-raising liberally when CO or Button opens and I'm in a blind with any reasonable hand and it's working out pretty well. They seem to love to try to steal at the $10 and $25 tables on Stars. By working out pretty well, I mean they call my raise and then fold when I make a ~2/3 pot bet on the flop.

Also this second hand, Perfect flop for my 10's, but I'm not sure the optimal play here. Do I raise and hope he is trying to catch a flush? That does seem like the optimal play, if he does hit he will go all in most likely, I doubt he will be going all in if he hits a pair, so betting correctly to ensure a flush draw will chase and call seems to be the optimal line here, as other hands fold yes?
