Sometime it's better not to raise OOP and just take a flop, but yeah raise is good here.

#1 seems standard

#2 you really need to raise more preflop if you raise, 250-300.
The flop looks ok to c-bet.
As played, I call on the flop getting 7 to 1.

[typically]

AK can be a bitch... I don't see too much wrong with your lines on either hand, I like to raise AK OOP vs. limpers or IP vs. single limpers.

hand 1: t160 preflop. The rest looks good

hand 2: t300 preflop. Check-call as played. Be aware of that the Q can be a bad card for us, because if we hit the K or the A, we can be up against two pair, KQ/AQ. But I guess we must stack off anyway
