I don't really see what's wrong with either of these plays. In the first hand, he had a big draw and happened to run into a straight, and a rather improbable straight at that. A lot of the time people will fold, and he'll generally have about nine outs when they don't, so it's a reasonable shot to take. In the second case, he was pretty shortstacked. He pushed. He ran into KK. It happens.
