I'd bet here, give him a chance to bluff shove or whatever. You may check yourself into a mess, or at the very least the board may get scary enough that you don't get action from hands that may have given you some on the flop.

1st hand I'd shove preflop - with your low M it will be seen as a restealer and from an UTG raise you will get a call most often.

Hand 2 is read dependent.

Yep, especially since you recently shoved over his raise just two hands ago, I'd shove AA too. Chances are he's getting tired of you owning him and decides to call. A smaller re-raise, and even your cold-call, will only raise suspicions...

Hand 2 is standard.
Given hand 2, I like just shoving preflop. However cold calling is fine & probably what I'd do totally readless if I'd been just moved to a table, say. On the flop obviously we're never folding ever. The question is is checking to let him catch up/bluff with e.g. KQ or betting now so he's happy to stack off with e.g. 88 when he wouldn't be if scarier cards come. I guess I just stick a bet of ~18K which enables him to CRAI with "fold equity"

I love the shove with the AA for all the same reasons...
