Could I have played these differently?

hand 1 looks good. Value bet the river in hand 2.

[bottomset]

hand1 is fine

hand2 bet the river

guess you lost both, it happens, honestly as long as you raise AA preflop and take it to showdown almost all the time, value betting mostflops/turns/rivers there isn't much you can do wrong with them, getting fancy can be bad

but if you are looking for ways to improve your play, AA hands won't get you very far

Nope, I won both but thought it would be kinda foolish to bet/raise those rivers. I wanted to see if people thought otherwise
