Hand 1 is not bad beat since you were drawing dead from the flop. But its bad luck.

Hand 2 - well you asked for it. Let him see a free flop and then slow playing your set.

Sure he might still have called you, but if you raised on any of the streets his call would have been a mistake. As played villain didn't do any real mistake on that hand.

I don't understand why you played hand 1 that way, I cant really imagine choosing to keep that pot so small until the river when there was a flurry of check-raise/min raise. If you put him on a medium flush I can't think of a worse way to build that pot. Consider yourself lucky because if he had a hand you could beat, you would have lost a lot of profit by playing it that way.

Some good advice is to post this street by street. Then you can get the advice you need to discover if you played the hand poorly or did get a bad beat.

Hand 1: You have to think about hands that can beat you. I am not saying I could fold here, just saying think of possible hands that have you smoked.

Hand 2: The real reason I always say the deadliest hand in the world is one that gets limped into a pot. Raise pre-flop with these big pairs and stop goofing around and trying to trap.

Well, I think in that case I should post it in another topic (advanced theory and hand analysis).

I didn't raise that hand, because I was UTG - I may scare everyone. And I don't like to reraise in such a situation - we have already remained heads-up, and if I reraised him, I would have clearly declaired that I had a monster hand, so he would probably check-fold the flop, if missed. If I just call, he can't guess, what I have, so he will make continual bet, which becomes free money for me (of course, in the case if I am ahead). I am taking many hands like that. That's how I see it.
