Ok so firstly I guess the call preflop was marginal OOP. Very little history with PFR. I generally play big hands like this strong in these weak micro games. I guess my question is, did I play this right?

When I initially got reraised I thought he had something like AK or AA; when I got reraise shoved I was a little worried but not enough to lay down top two..

you really should fold preflop in hand 1.

 hand 1 is definitly a fold preflop. it doesnt matter if you think you can outplay everyone because its 5nl, if you make a habit of it now its going to be hard to get out of it when you are moving up in stakes and you will lose alot of money calling hands like that from the blinds, especially against an UTG raiser.

hand 2 is fine as played. villain shows up w/ QT here sometimes but youre good here often.
