Hand #1:
None of these guys is anything special, seat 5 is certainly a donk and I haven't seen anything to show otherwise for the other two.

Hand #2:

Wondering if my play here was too aggressive? I was raising on 4th mostly for information. If I get 3-bet here I'm folding. Villain is passive.

I would have played both hands probably the same way. On hand one, in a multiway pot your bets on 5th and 6th are probably for value, as you have, in scientific terms, a crap-load of outs. Checking behind on 6th wouldn't be the worst play, either, but extracting 3 extra bets here is probably still the best play in terms of equity, even if you don't have the best hand.

I think checking behind on 5th street on hand #2 is probably correct, but betting wouldn't be horrible, either. You may still have the best hand, and at the very least you have outs, particularly on 6th.
