2 hands I folded. Any ideas how to play them better before or after the flop? In the first hand I'm not sure if AQs is good enough for a reraise, since he had a large stack like me and could kill me with any PP or AK. The second hand I screwed up I guess, but still I'd like to know how you guys play here, e.g. put him all-in preflop?

On the first hand, I think we can raise this up to around 1.2K and hope for a fold, or a call and a nice flop. Although if we pop it up to 1.2K and he calls, we would probably end up surrendering on a ghey flop like the one posted. It would depend on the villan, seeing as we are fairly deep into the STT I think we can have some read on him.

2nd hand looks fine to me.
