Hand 1: Board is waaaaaaaaay too dry for you to call here against a typical opponent let alone a nit. Against a donk I would stack-a-donk the turn, but against most typical opponents your line is fine providing you find a fold on the river. Also his nitty preflop stats usually indicate nitty postflop play- so he has QJ+ here just about always. I think your ideas in this hand may have been skewed by the OMG I have aces mentality when on the river AA=AK. 19/11s dont turn 99 TT JJ into bluffs when checked to on the river. Ever.
Hand2- Your flop raise is really, really bad. Id make it 80 or 90 usually, which lets you fold the turn approx. never and also makes it a mistake for ur opponents to call with any conceivable draw. They probably shove 2pair as a big pairs is most of ur range here which you crush. Not to mention typical donk shoves of combo draws, 88-JJ, and worse.
As played... its a sick, sick spot. The problem is that if you cold call the shove ur range is KdAx, KdKx maybe and a set. Ugh. I probably puke and call as I give shorstacks no credit and you got mad outzzz.
