Hi, I want to post my first hands in the forum. They are two hands played in Sit and Go Turbo 6máx of 1 € buy-in. Both are premium hands in the first or second level of blinds that I don't know if I should play like I did. I emphasise that the open raise can seem too high, but in this level of blinds lots of players pay bets x3 and I lose equity if everybody pays me. The hands are:

Thank you!
It would be nice if you use an hand converter like weaktight next time. Than we don’t need to click on links.
Both hands are pretty standard I think and your sizing looks fine to me as well. Maybe your 3bet sizing could be between 2,5x and 3x, but that isn’t too bad on a fishy SNG table.

Regarding the first one, you should have no doubt/concern if 3x was too big. very common act on both sides at these stakes . no problem at all.
Regarding the second one, only same small thought is required to not overplay AK just because it's a premium hand. The decision depends also on whether we know the villain - it makes a huge difference if his range is 30-15-8-5% leading our equity from a nice 61-39% to a pure 50-50% coin flip.
1st hand - hes raised 4.5X so I think you can make your 3bet even bigger than 3X if you want as villian really likes his hand
2nd - I wouldnt raise AK 6X, yes its a premium hand, but I would just 3X. I would call the shove as well
Thank you very much for your answers!
I will adjust my game using your opinions. And I will prove weaktight nex time.

Don’t forget that there are already 2 limpers in front of him in the 2nd hand and I don’t think a 6x raise is weird at a micro stakes STT.
