Live 1/2 NL

A couple hands from my break even session....lets see who can guess which hand I won, and which hand I lost. The table is 6 handed.

First hand...
Stack sizes
Hero (button) - $480
UTG - $90
UTG+1 - $120
CO - $115
SB - $300
BB - $400
Players were all fairly solid, no out of line players.

I am on the button with AQ of clubs. A couple limpers, CO raises to $11, I call, 2 limpers call. Flop comes A 6 J with one club. 2 limpers check, CO bets $20..I raise to $60...limpers fold, CO thinks a long time, then calls leaving him $55 behind. Turn is a blank, 2 i think, he pushes his $55 in. Hero?

Hand #2

Basically same stack sizes. Hero is in CO with AA. Table folds to Hero, I make it $8 to go, only BB calls. Flop comes 9 9 2. I bet $18, Villain calls right away. Turn is 4. I check, Villain checks. River is a 3, Hero bets $45, Villain thinks for a while and pushes all in for $160.....Hero?

Let me know your thoughts guys, comments on any and all plays is appreciated. Thanks.

Hand 1 -- Don't raise the flop if you aren't prepared to stack off. Easy call on the turn.

Hand 2 -- I bet the turn and fold if he shoves. Live players don't usually bluff dry boards like this.

So you think I should have just called the flop? So what do I do when he bets $60 on the turn? Put him all in or fold?

He's short stacked so I'd be looking to get it AI here. I don't hate your line (isolating shortie with flop raise), but was more curious why you thought the turn was anything except a call.

No, I know the turn is a call, that obvious, I was looking for info on the other streets. What do you do in hand #2. I know your saying bet turn and fold to a push, but what about the river, do I still fold to a push?
