francois8 shows [5s 5d Ac 7s Ah 6c 2h] 7,6,5,2,A FullTilt switches the cards around, so I have to think he didnt start with the pair underneath. I dont think he's going to call those bets with 2 pair. Just plain old luck.

Comments? Could I have done anything else in the first hand to not lose as much? Should I have gotten away from the second hand when I thought he made his 7? Anything would be helpful, and also much appreciated.

I think you are giving away a lot of information about your hand when you re-pop it preflop. I'm not saying that's always a bad thing, but you can get away from a hand gone wrong and really disguise a fantastic first 4 cards when you smooth call.
