This is easy for me to say, but the common thread I dont like about both of your lines is you are advertising your hand. You have to fold to huge raises. I think you need to mix it up a little and see what happens.

For example, giving a free card is not ideal for Hand 1, but neither is advertising a pair with a pot sized bet. You could check the flop and see what happens.

For hand 2, you could have limped in preflop and see what happens on a flop bet. You should introduce some CRing here so your opponents know you will make them pay for trying to steal.

Good luck
