Two similar KK hands- will you fold?
 

In both hands I was slamming my head against the desk, but am I good enough to keep playing after the turn?

The simultaneous occurance of these hands made me want to post them. It seems like they are played ok, but while they were happening, I really wanted to fold. Sure doesn't seem right to fold though, does it?

seems ok...but what were your opponents like? Did you have reads on them? That should be the deciding factor in these instances.

Looks like you beat qq in the first one after the ace scared him.

In the second hand, I three bet the flop or check raise the turn. I definitely don't think you put in enough bets in the second hand.
