He only has $20 left and I figured I couldn't bet 10 and fold really so would it had been better to check call? Pumkinpete had been raising a lot preflop and cusefan has done the same and calling lots of raises too.

As i said for hand 1, pete's been doing this ALOT so I decide to make a stand. The other guy calling instead or raising made it seem like he was at least drawing or didn't have a super strong holding. Thoughts?

Hand 1
Maybe I missed something... you think your aces up are good here? Or are you trying to steal the pot from trip 9s or something?

anyway, it seems like you think they are CSs, so i'd bet. if you think you can induce the river bluff (and feel certain that it's just a bluff), then i'd check. anyway, without more info, i like the bet if you think you're ahead.

Hand 2
I like this a lot. It might be high variance, but I think that you can induce some players to make some -ev calls here. you got tons of outs and a decent made hand, so i really like it.

just curious... in hand 2, do you think the nut flush (with no other obvious draws) has the odds to call here? of course, it depends on if they are the first caller or second caller, but what's your best guess?

In hand 1 if you think you're ahead you should DEFINITELY check IMO - it's a good "catch a bluff" spot. He's surely not going to call that bet without something that beats aces.

Hand 2 I quite like.
