Game: No Limit Hold'em
Blinds: $2/$4
8-Handed
Hand #1:
Pre-flop:
I started the hand with $160 on small blind with Q
10
UTG+1 (Stack Size: $100) limped. A really loose player (who plays almost 80% of his hands with $800) raised to $15. Button (an OK regular who is reasonably tight with $200) called.
I called, big blind called and UTG+1 called.
Flop:
Five players in the hand. Pot $75
Q
8
2
Hero, Big Blind & UTG+1 checked. Pre-flop raiser bet out $30 & button called.
Pot is now $135 and I have $145.
What should I do?
I definitely wasn't thinking of folding. Should I move in or just called?
Hand#2:
Pre-flop:
I started the hand with $170 with AJ offsuit on the small blind.
The really loose player (hijack with $1000) I mentioned above limped, cut off and button limped. I completed the blind and big blind checked. (I know that I made a mistake here for not raising) =(
Flop:
J
8
3
I bet $15 into a $20 pot. Two callers (hijack & cut off called).
Turn:

Board: J

Pot: $65
I was pretty confident I had the best hand so I bet $45. The really loose players who almost plays all of his hands raised to $100 total. Cut off and button folded.
What should I do?
I have around $110 left and the pot is around $210.
I am pretty new to the game so any suggestion or feedback is greatly appreciated.
