99 HU and OOP...how to avoid the discomfort?

[OSUGreg1983]

You seem to like playing medium pp's aggressively preflop OOP. Both spots you're up against big stacks showing strength from position. Classic flat call for set equity preflop in both situations.

Hand 1: c/f the flop
Hand 2: I would use a c/c, possibly c/r, line since you can get value from a villain cbet here, and re-evaluate on the turn.
