I wonder if I play these hands well. Do they cost me too much?

This hand, Should I have checked the turn?

And this hand: Should I have folded? Probably but I am not sure. His bet on the flop made me think he had AJ

I moved this thread to our hand discussion board.

In the first hand you could skip the cbet OTF. You are OOP, the board is very dry. If villain has an ace he has 3 outer. You want him to continue with a wide range and you don't mind much if he hits a second best hand. If you decide to bet, 1/4 - 1/3 pot should be ok.
As played I think betting the turn is totally fine.

Hand 2 is quite loose open preflop, but I guess it is not bad. I can see a lot of weaker hands that villain could play this way (overpairs, 2pair, sets, straight). Ofc it is possible that he has a flush but I still wouldn't fold this at any point.

Maybe a little loose pre? Postflop is there nothing wrong with.
