Both times i felt that i was calling for value happy to let them keep the agression because i had the best hand. The river call on the 2nd hand was probably a bit loose, on review I didn't think the bet was such an overbet.

Am i just set blind?

Both spots are really different.

The first I'd play the same, not much else to do as you are wa ahead/way behind and can only call small barrels, be happy that he didn't bet the river bigger lol.

The second though is misplayed since the begin as it should be a clear squeeze pre !
And as played you are quite optimistic OTR...

Thanks for the pointers. Reviewing it again not sure why i called with the AK, i'd normally always 3bet them...

1st hand: raise bigger pre definitely. Those p***y bets are just ridiculous, can't really raise it after being flop raised. Just call down those sizings. It's basically impossible to assign a range, as the fokes said, typical away ahead/behind spot.

2nd hand: 3bet pre, cbet flop. Re-evaluate from that point. I strongly believe most of us won't put ourselfs in those spots with AK, so it is difficult to say how to play this after calling pre and check-calling flop. Please, not to mess up things even more just fold that river.

First hand is just tough break, and next time you will clean up, would have made the same play
