    Consider a slightly bigger 3-bet size.

    Hand 1: Call for the split. I got you at 30% equity against AA/JJ/AK
    Hand 2: Ni Han

    Just out of curiosity, what's the aggression on V in hand 2?

    I tend to 3bet larger here to about $13-$15. Line is fine. folding to river.
    My guess: 9. Can't put him on anything less. JJ isn't out of the question either. Possibly a higher chance than a 9.

    Line looks good. Another good line that I considered during reading your hand is a raise on the turn. This has to be a small raise, 2x-2.5x. The idea is to take back control of the betting + narrow down villains range when deciding on what to do with the river.
    My guess: a2 spades.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    2nd one is good, 1st one is bad, 3bet bigger and checking that flop is lol except for randomly doing it a small pct of the time to balance your checking range.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    This is why I hate AK in 3-bet pots vs villains who's 3-bet calling range is like TT+/AK. You hit, and all the smaller pairs are scared & you can only extract with a passive line & pray he doesn't hit / hasn't already.

    Almost never end up winning big pots unless your villain calls 3-bets with AQ. Which I would actually expect most 20/8s to.
