Both hands leave us OOP on flop.

 There's enough room in hand1 for a lighter 4-bet. I probably raise to 9 & fold to a shove.

Hand2...I just get nervous about the EP limp/3-bet. Unless I've got a read saying otherwise I assume that's KK+. Maybe too nitty, but it seems there's a lot of people who like to play KK/AA like that.

I dunno really though...I'm still learning how to play AK in situations like this and am rarely confident I made the right play.

Out of position I prefer to bet about 1/3rd of the money behind, then shove about 3 sec after the flop is put down.
