25NL: Dominated hands from the blinds

[molotom]

I think these are a big preflop leak of mine... is it ever a good idea to call with such hands from the blinds? Should I 3-bet more often against button raises? I think KQ is ahead of most people's button raising range, but AT is pretty bad from a domination standpoint.

After his turn bet in hand 1 I realised I was toast, especially since I don't even beat A9/A8 any more. But this made me question why I even bothered to play the hand in the first place...

I'm not so sure about the postflop in hand 2 either. I don't want to donk the flop, I think it's very rare he has a king here. I know it's retarded but I was so tempted to check-minraise him on this flop. Should I lead out on the turn anyway?

I never play ATo from anything but late position, and even then I don't like it. ATs is slightly more playable, but I'll still open fold it in position to a preflop raise. The KQ hand looks pretty standard.

i disagree about the A 10 you have to play it here maybe even reraise since it's only 5 hand and the sb raised could be trying to steal
