Two interesting AhQh hands

[sweetjazz]

Reads: SB is loose and aggressive. He tends to overplay his hands, and I don't think he'll fold a pair. BB is loose and last hand he bluff 3-bet the flop. (And promptly folded to a single subsequent turn bet.)

Final Pot: 19 BB

What do people think of my four raises? Overplayed or appropriate? Is the river raise too much?

This next hand is entirely read-based. Somewhat loose passive raises. I 3-bet him preflop without thinking, which was not good as I think this 3-bet is marginal here. Anyway, he calls and he insta-bets the flop; obviously his action was decided upon before looking at the flop. Quickly observing this and noticing the king on the flop (as well as a single heart), I thought this was a good time for a raise. His bet seemed like he was trying to retake control of the pot, largely because his hand wasn't good enough to withstand pressure. Are you buying it? Is it worth fighting for this small pot? Am I folding a medium PP here? Am I happy folding a dominated hand, because I really don't want to invest 2.5 BB to see if he is pushing overcards?

Good or bad? What's the line if MP1 calls? If he raises?
