    Ok, first hand, you hit the 2nd nut flush, and there is $350 in the pot. You played it like a flush, but I think I lead out here. Make it 150 to go. Bet about 200 on the turn if a heart doesn't hit. If it does, I would check/call him on the river.

    He could be on the flush draw in the 2nd hand. I think you have to bet out strong again. Unlikely the 10 helped him here. But, giving a free card could hurt you. About 3200ish in the pot, I think you have to see if your good. I'd bet about 1200-1500 here. If he pushes over the top, then you have to fold. You will have lost 50% of your stack, but your 2 raises really stuck you in that spot (next time, I would flat call preflop with AJ, then raise if you hit. That keeps the pots smaller here.

    What I'm really scared of is, what sort of hand does he have here that he calls preflop and on the flop. Weak ace or some sort of suited connectors is what makes the most sense here. Problem is, that weak ace could pair up at any point, but I can't imagine he has AK or AQ on you. Really wouldn't surprise me if he has AJ also here.
