AKo-AQo - missplayed both?

Hand 1 i would cap reflop and check/raise the flop. If you lead out the flop anyone with any piece of the board would have a correct call.

I don't disagree with the cap preflop. But how does check raising, when the likely bettor is to your left, cut down on your popponents as opposed to leading the flop and getiing raised (thus facing the feild to call 2). Check raising here is the kinda play you wanna make to trap people for more bets.
