For those that are curious:

Spoiler: My friend was "hero" in hand #1 -- I thought his preflop raise was a little small given that 3xBB raises tend to have a pot-sweetener effect at our games. 50~60c probably would have been more appropriate. BB actually had JT and my friend didn't suck out. I played hand #2 -- I thought a 50c raise was about the right size, but somehow ended up getting 3 callers. Given that the button had been fairly straightforward in her betting, I knew there was a decent chance she might actually have a set, but couldn't get away from the AA. In fact, she did have 22 for bottom set.
