Hand 1 I would play it similar. I do like just calling his flop reraise with position, but on the turn I think you need to reraise here to say $225, that way he is committed to the pot if he calls and you can get the rest in on virtually any river card.

Hand 2 I think is very risky, a case can be made for folding preflop even to his dinky minraise. There just are not many flops you can like with A6s, you got your best flop pretty much there with a flush draw, but if he has an overpair or something like QQQ you aren't in great shape. I like the flop c/r if his reraising range is bigger than AK AA-QQ, because if it isn't then you are losing money.

hand 1, the guy probably had a flush draw, I don't think you coulda got anything more out of him

I put him on 66-TT. Very dry flop, he was testing for overcards. He used all his time at the river before he folded, so 88 seems likely.

Hand #2, he probably had 88-JJ. Size of flop bet looks weak.

How often would AA/KK fold here btw?

I think hand one is okay, although I probably raise the turn. There's a flush draw and the board is starting to coordinate. Get the money in now.

Hand two I don't like at all. I think you get called everytime by AA/KK and probably even AQ sometimes. I would just fold to the flop bet or lead out, and re-evaluate based on how he reacts.
