Hand 1, you should have re-raised pre-flop. If called, then full pot to pot and 1/2 c-bet that flop. When re-raised, fold. Best case is that they are drawing to a better hand, pp Q's, pp J's Worst case they have a better hand. Personally I believe that if pre-flop would have been played properly you would have either taken it down pre-flop, or had a good idea to fold the re-raise after the flop.

Hand 2, I am thinking no. You were facing a straight and being bet into for all your chips. Which weakens your hand. I personally will not call all in with AK unless I have the nuts, or believe I do.

But fear not, they were not bad hands and if all your losses could be that stellar, I would be happy.
ok i guess posting the results did matter this time too

trilerian, what range of hands do you put villains on in both hands? give every hand you think is reasonable for them to have given the action.

also,
