Both of these hands arent that tricky and didnt cost me much, but just want to get a general idea if folding both was a good idea. FWIW i've been raising a lot in late position.

I can't see the villain in this hand firing such a big second barrel with anything less that KK AA. Would any of you have played this any differently? maybe reraise preflop?
