I voted weak for both:

Hand 1: You are putting SB on a 9 by folding here. His call of the PF RR (which was a fine size I feel) reduces his range considerably. He could VERY well be doing this w/ 10-QQ. I don't drop KK here.

Hand 2: a bit closer. I often check this turn card, the mini-RR does make it a bit scary that he might have a J. however, folding now allows you to be bullied later on and your turn bet is pretty small in relation to the pot - he very well could be RRing you w/ a weaker ace - trying to represent the J. I check the turn here, i guess not a horrible laydown, but one i dont like making.

As to the play of AK here, I do a t60 PF raise and bet the pot on the flop. t100 is too much to lead w/ on L1 I feel. just my $.02

Hand 1 I lay down there about never...Hand2 I voted good, "good" in that I am impressed when others lay it down at this buy-in cas I hardly ever do. But I think you're beat there sometimes...(maybe not enough to make it a habit.)
