Both these spots are a bit unusual because we see turns three handed. Not saying that this never happens but it's rarer than being hu in these spots and I think it makes a big difference in how to think about the hands.
In the first hand both SB and BB are regs who view me as one as well. I've played with SB a fair bit and he's a solid TAG. BB is less known to me as he plays higher and we haven't played much together but he was running 31/23/16 in this session.
I think flop is a pretty standard bet from me but the BB's overcall immediately set-off some alarm bells. On the turn things get more interesting. There's a case to be made for me pot controlling and checking here 3 handed and I'm wondering what people think about that. Obviously it's not what I went with but I think in retrospect it may be better. I'll post thoughts on the river after there's been some discussion

In the second hand I'm totally lost. SB and I have played a ton together HU and 6max with the short of it being he rarely believes me. Button I don't know well but have seen around a bit and view him as a TAG.
I could have led the flop and do sometimes but elected to c/r here. On the turn I elect to flat with the board being pretty coordinated multiway and then button comes along as well. SB is undeterred by the paired board on the river and fires away. I'm not folding but what do people like best and why?
