The secret to this, Doc, is picking your players to do this against, not just blindly pushing all the time you have TPTK or a big overpair. You will find that some players will happily stack off with TPWK and others who won't even go past the flop with such a hand. It's this second group you have to be careful with if they start playing back at you.
Good reads are priceless. Pick your spots and you will lose less.

on hand#2, ur pf and flop play are very good.. I would have played it the exact same way, except maybe bet a lil harder on the flop. I would a bet something like $6 on the flop, called the min raise, checked behind on the turn for pot control. And when opponent checks to me again on river, I figure he has TT there, and proceed to bet river with a 1/3rd ps value bet.
