Hand 1.)
I would call here with 5:1 Pot Odds and see if I hit my Q (you might be dominated by AK here) to play on the Flop check/raise All-In to maximize your fold Equity.
But your fold is ok to.

Hand 2.)
Your fold was the right thing to do, both opponents are shortstacks and their is a chance that UTG here is minraising to get a Raise and go All-In then. And MP1 is also Raising and you don´t know if he is Raising like he is pretend that UTG is a limper (minraise = limper) or as a re-raise. In second case you are nearly every time way behind. If he just normal raises You have are still often dominated by KK or AA or only have a Coin Flip against TT, JJ, QQ. So good fold in my eyes here.

Nice hands, sir! ♦

Sometimes it sucks to play according to the strategy but it's profitable in the long run. And that's decisive for your poker career - not the single hand!

Good luck at the tables!
