Default 10 + 1 5k : Two spots I butchered post flop

Stars 5k, I misplayed both of these hands pretty badly postflop (at least I think), but don't know what the correct line would have been for either.

Hand 1 - I just got to this table, so don't know anything about villain other than we're both about top 20 in chips at this moment. Is my flop raise okay. or should I really be looking to hit something after he calls my 3bet preflop? His tiny bet looked weak, and I was pretty shocked when he shoved. Should I have just called and reevaluated the turn?

Hand 2: I hated this situation. At these limits, the min-raise pre is really often AA or KK, which is why I didn't want to shove. I would have insta folded this if he had made a decent sized bet post-flop, but how do I fold to minbets? I guess I could have gotten away on the turn? Ugh.

Default Re: 10 + 1 5k : Two spots I butchered post flop

Hand 1: I don't like it. First of I'd raise more pre. I usually 3bet in the neighborhood of 3x the open, but if the open is a min-raise I treat is as a 3xbb open and 3bet accordingly. So I'd make it 6500-7000. The flop i just fold. Other flops I might play it the same, but I think we get shoved on here or called to often and either way we're done with the hand so yeah, just fold.

Hand 2: 4bet shove pre, you're not deep enough to get away from QQ here.

hand 1: i probably wouldve made a much larger reraise. idk how much, but probably enough where i was calling even if he shoved. the advice on this forum is always to play AK much stronger than i was ever used to and, most times, i'm glad that i do. in heads up pots, i almost never (if ever) flatcall/fold this hand.

hand2: i think your biggest mistake post flop was to check. thats usually an indication of uber strength or a total lack of confidence and a lot of opponents are going to attack that. his minbet probably means he's worried too but if you had led out w/ the same ~potsize bet that you said would scare you, he may have folded also. (i dont mind a preflop 4bet allin, as suggested by swede554, either)
