Hand 1:
Fold third. Yes, you have an ace and everyone's cards are dead, but so are yours. You don't have to ante-steal every time you have an ace. What makes it playable is the live kings and jacks.

After third, you are simply spewing. You were getting called down if you didn't make an open pair. Basically, you got lucky. Of course, after the foolish aggression on fourth, when you pick up the king you are seeing the river, so you might as well play it the same from fifth on.

Hand 2:
For fu[/i]ck sake, fold third. If your kicker was an ace that was just as live I'd probably play it the same. Congrats on getting paid off to some extend after pairing your door.
