Hand 1 - I agree with you that I don't think he'd necessarily bet KQ that strong. I guess a better question would be, what hand that you are playing this way would ever call a river bet of his sizing?

Hand 2 - I agree with you that c/c'ing we will be put into quite a few tough spots. At the same time, given his initiative, stack sizes and the perceived weakness of our hand, he's also somewhat more likely to run a big bluff against us. Assuming he has a big bluff in him. Depends how spazzy/aggro you think he is I guess.
