Apologies for the long, multi-hand post.

First hand: No read on the villian and I was very distracted by a big pot during the preflop portion of this hand. I probably should have reraised with my AKs to define villians hand a little better.

With two overs and a flush draw my raise here is fairly standard here right? Should the amount have been any different? Or shoud I have called and tried to bring SB along for the ride?

Should I have bet the flop? I really didn't feel that good about my hand until after it checked around since the PF raiser was behind me. Should I have raised more on the turn?

I would've played both hands the exact same way.

I know you lost both hands but you'll win a ton more than you lose. You had the odds in both situations and unfortunately it didnt work out. There really is no other way to beat complete morons who will call a 3x reraise on the turn for a gutshot considering they could be drawing dead. Senseless...

Anyways, I think your play is fine.

On hand #2 I probably would have bet into the preflop raiser to see where I stand.
If he comes over top of me I figure i'm beat with an overpair or maybe even a jack wtih better kicker.
