First hand looks fine. Without a read I would say you are beat here most of the time. Second hand looks a little weak. He may be on a draw or have a hand looking for a cheap showdown. Against an aggressive villain, I may 3-bet, but standard line would be to call and check/call the turn and river provided no scare cards hit.

i'm pretty sure i was beat in both cases but should i have kept betting the river oop 25$ in the first hand or just check and call a not so big bet(also maybe induce a bluff from a busted flush)? it was more of a blocking bet than a value one since what would he have called that i could beat? KJ? and should i have rr both AK's from the blinds preflop?
