Early in a $10+1 SNG, no real read on villian in either hand. I'm second in chips, pick up AK two consecutive hands, end up in an all-in situation preflop against TT each time and lose both races. Obviously I'd rather not be going all-in preflop this early, but could I have avoided it in either hand?

[The converter seems to mess up here. After I raised to t480, UTG+1 minraised, which left him with a few hundred chips left. Then I moved in.]

Well, if you'd rather not be all in preflop, you could just fold. If that doesn't appeal to you, here's what I'd have done:

Hand 1) Push.

Hand 2) Push after he reraises.
