Villain hadn't done anything really stupid so far. The awkward raise size seemed to me, that he really doesn't like to see a flop. Wasn't too much scared of AA / KK here, so I decided to call, at least I had chips to work with if I loose.

Minraiser had seen a lot of hands. His minraise could mean a lot of things. Was my re-raise too big? Anyone just call the minraise? I think the all-in call is obligatory with these reads and pot odds..?

I almost never fold AK in an $11. There's too many donk all-ins to fold it. I seem to usually be ahead/race when I do. I rarely run in to AA/KK, and I'd too often fold to JJ or AJ if I folded it.

Action in #1 looks good.

In #2 I would cold call rather than trying to isolate. Too bad you have to call the reraise. Opponents seem to have pairs too often for my liking, and probably would have limped after you if you only called.
