hand 1, Not many villains are raising you light on a dry A-high flop. Against most people fold, but you won't be raised here very often. If your read is he's FOS, ie he's a 35/30/10 maniac or something, then calling him down is fine. But usually fold. On a drawy flop, you could jam.
hand 2, Middle card flops are not great to c-bet oop. If you do, plan on 2barreling. But c/f'ing the flop is fine too, even with AK.
