Pretty good night last night playing 1-2NL. Bunch of donkeys w/some nit rock limping in the button w/queens...that kind of night.
Played from 8 to 6 and picked out two hands that I butchered.
Hand 1: (we're 5-handed)
J  10  (~$600)
I open for $17 get called by super nit in the SB. (~$900)
Flop:8 8 9
He checks, i bet $25 ( standard continuation bet) he thinks and calls.
Turn: Jx
He checks, i bet $25 and he check raises me to $50.
I call.
River: 10 
check, check.
Hand 2: ($~800) I open UTG w/10 10 for $12
Super solid asian guy raises to $50. (~$700)
Get one idiot calling near the CO and I call.
Flop: 5 3 2r ($150)
I check, asian bets $75, fold, i call.
Turn: 3  ($300)
I lead for $80, he calls quickly.
River: 9 ($460)
I lead for $100, he calls.
Thoughts?
And yes, I made these plays.

Hand one looks pretty close to how I would have played it. The turn and river really screwed you though.
Hand two, if he is a solid player I would have folded to the $75 bet post flop. Of course I say that sitting here reading. If I was at the table I have a hard time laying that down. I know it's the right thing to do but it's something I am fighting with.
