Two Questionable Semi-Bluffs

Obviously both of these are bad boards for my OESD. All comments appreciated.

CO is 19/16/4 TAG over ~400 hands, he's been raising very liberally in late position though. Only history was a few orbits ago when I 3bet his button open with AA out of a blind, he called with 45s and shoved his gutshot over my CB on a K87r board.

Its $280 for the CO to call. What hands are folding to our shove? Anyone just give it up?

Villain 21/17/3.8, ~1k hands. We've been three-betting each other a bunch but none have made it past the flop thus far.

Anyone prefer a smaller turn bet? What hands are we folding out?
