Re: two big pots with AQ

I agree here 100% regarding hand #1 for not only the reasons given, but also because since you are committing your stack, betting that 3rd spade now is in fact more often likely to elicit a semi-bluff raise allowing you to checkraise allin, whereas a check will most often elicit a check behind. Even though you are out of position, you simply cannot let a 4th spade or straight card or broadway card making him 2 pair, fall cheap.
Hand #2, I agree with smooth calling the raise on the flop. However, if you check a blank on the turn, he will often check behind as well with a worse ace. So after smoothcalling, I would bet out on the turn 2/3 of the pot. If you are raised there as well, then you have to make a decision whether he would do so with a worse hand and act accordingly.

I agree with everything. In hand #2 we never fold if he raises our bet on turn. The pot is to big.
Edited: Actually I might check the turn and pott the river. No matter if he bets or checks behind on turn.
