The first hand sets up the second. I don't normally flat call preflop with KQs (and then I played it poorly which explains why lol) but I had position, raiser was loose and I figured more might join in.
I had no reads on the postflop reraiser so I let this one go and noted to monitor him for a future lookup. Thus the second hand ensued with the same player.
Normally I would dump the second hand readless, but the guy had been way too active so I decided this was as good a time as any to check him out. Standard given the read?

Cryptologic
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.15/$0.25
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $52.85
UTG+1: $7.15
MP1: $22.95
MP2: $32.85
CO: $32.80
TheHorror: $22.90
SB: $24.75
BB: $9.98

Pre-flop: (8 players) TheHorror is Button with K Q
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $1, MP1 calls, 2 folds, TheHorror calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: Q 5 6 ($5, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets $0.75, MP1 folds, TheHorror raises to $2.5, SB folds, BB raises all-in $8.98, UTG+1 folds, TheHorror folds.
Uncalled bets: $6.48 returned to BB.

Results:
Final pot: $10.75


Hand 2 with AK:
Cryptologic
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.15/$0.25
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $27.45
UTG+1: $32.60
UTG+2: $32.80
TheHorror: $25
MP2: $15.48
MP3: $23.75
CO: $19.98
Button: $52.35
SB: $21.75
BB: $25

Pre-flop: (10 players) TheHorror is MP1 with A K
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, TheHorror raises to $1.5, 2 folds, CO calls, 5 folds.

Flop: J 2 K ($3.9, 2 players)
TheHorror bets $2.5, CO raises to $5, TheHorror raises all-in $23.5, CO calls all-in $13.48.
Uncalled bets: $5.02 returned to TheHorror.

Turn: A ($40.86, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $40.86)


River: T ($40.86, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $40.86)


Results:

CO shows Js 9c (a pair of Jacks) .
Hero shows Ah Kc (two pair, Aces and Kings, Jack kicker).
Hero wins pot $40.86.
He hesitated an extremely long time before calling - the fact that he called indicates that he must have put me on AQ or a low pair or he was just flat gonna chase 2 pair. Fortunately my hand held.

Final pot: $40.86

Totally agree on the first hand - F'd that one up pretty badly as I was probably good there as well and would have easily called his push in that case.
