Question, what do you make of his small betsize on the flop? Like, usually for balance 1/2 pot is standard of course, but deepish and on a drawy flop, don't we expect villain to be going for nearer 3/4? Does this look a ton like KQ/AQ/AK to anyone else?

What to do? I feel check call is bad, I feel check fold is bad, I feel shoving is bad. Which is least bad?

Hand 1 could be a scared QQ or something, but I mostly feel like it is AK wanting to see a turn and not wanting to check. I make the peel even though it is light.

Hand 2 JJ I check fold my hand and feel good that i've progressed enough to realise that JJ may as well be pocket 2's. Your squeeze is unnecessarily big there btw 100bb.
