Re: Overbetting the Pot

are they correct

yes.
Hand 1 is the most beautiful flop in the world to AA when you've raised preflop and cleared out most of the junk holdings. That flop isn't helping anyone w/o pocket pair, and that's what the people behind you are thinking. Try to induce a bluff by representing a big ace that hasn't fallen and check. If they bet small, just call and act meek. If they bet big, then they're probably committed so just push away.
Hand 2 - As has been noted, you've committed yourself to the pot so you may as well push. It's also coordinated, so you cannot let people see the turn cheaply. There's nothing fish love more than a "wild" all-in overbet. It induces "you can't have it" calls like no other. They'll be much more suspicious of someone who raises 75% of their stack, because it seems like you WANT to get all your chips in but are afraid of losing action.
