Hand 1:

You've shown strength the entire way and villain decides that he doesn't care on the river and makes a sizeable bet. Given the board I think there are a lot of ways your TPGK is beat. Without reads I think I fold. I think you got yourself in an odd position by betting so much on the turn.

Hand 2:

What was your image at the table? Could villain think that you're out of line and it just being super aggro. I don't think you usually see flop 3-bets from the average non-maniac villain here. The almost min-raise 3 bet is odd too.
