Your postflop play on the first hand is bad, and you stuck your money in while behind. He has 9 outs to the flush, 3 to the straight, 3 to make 2 pair, 2 to make three of a kind, 19 outs. You are way behind on that flop. His bet represents a made hand, so call him and bet a safe turn card. Seeing the turn card here would probably keep you from going broke.

On the second hand, if you are really short in chips thats not a bad hand to open push with, but in the BB it's probably worth checking and seeing the flop, unless you are going to be comitted anyhow. If you only have 2x the big blind left, moving in is fine because it will probably win you more money, if you have 5x, it will probably loose you money.

well i may not have played it perfectly, but i certainly dont think it was horrible. i was ahead in the hand and his weak bet on the flop, not even 1/2 the pot, represents a draw, now i didnt realize he was on such a strong draw, but i certainly dont think it was a bad play. not good ill admit, but i put my money in when i was ahead, not by much, but i was

It doesn't say how many chips you had, so I don't know your pot odds, but you were behind in the hand when you go all in here. With the right pot odds it was a profitable move anyhow. But any time he has a pair (which would explain the bet) and flush draw he is going to be getting the right price against your move.

It's tough to read it that way, and I can't say I would have put him on that hand, a TJs would be a real possiblity though, and you would be performing even worse against that.
