2 early AK hands

[dfscott]

Both of these were part of my 2nd (failed) venture into the 20s. Looking for feedback on either or both.

Hand 1:

BB had played a lot of pots to this point, usually folding the flop but losing a bunch when someone hit runner-runner flush to beat their TP.

I like them both

Hand 1: Good fold

Hand 2: Overall, your play was good. Your preflop bet is a little big for me, I generally go about 75 there. But it's fine. Postflop, I bet the pot. If there's a flush draw, I'll bet slightly more than the pot. Did villain flop a set?

I actually won the 2nd (villain showed 99), but I wanted to make sure I didn't just get lucky.

Thanks for the feedback.

I call hand 1. The BB has already lost half his stack so his range of push hands is very large with about 100 chips in the pot. This is about a coinflip if he has a pocket pair or you have a huge advantage if the has an A or a K in his hand. This is a situation I like, either a huge favorite or a coinflip.
