Villain was running at 38/15/12 and playing extremely loose and aggressive, but wasn't really what I would call a good LAG.
Hand 1:
Although he's been getting involved in a lot of pots, this was the first time he'd 3 bet me preflop. Advice on all streets appreciated, especially whether calling or raising the flop is best, and turn decision...

Hand 2: Against the same villain. Suggestions on alternate lines I could have taken would be great. Best to check-call, bet-fold or bet-call the flop..?
I feel that my hand is pretty much face up as AA, KK, QQ and that villain could be doing this putting me on those hands (of course taking his chances that I have an unlikely AA for the flopped set). I would 3bet AK and AQ out of the blinds too against this guy, but I'm not sure if he knows that.
