in hand 1, you open a major can of worms vs. this kind of opponent by 3betting the flop.

Hand #1 Id never 3 bet the flop. Id either wait until the turn or river or not raise at all. If he'd always slow play a 5 and fastplay a K like most players will, then waiting until the turn is best. If he'll bluff sometimes, then waiting until the river is the play. Generally I'd just raise the turn though.

On the turn, I take the holding out chips move to be a sign that he's either in call down mode or trying to get a cheap sd. Easy bet.

hand #2: I think you have the best hand almost always, but he's probably folding most of the stuff you beat anyway, so theres little value. I'd still bet though because you get a crying call from QQ more than he shows up with a better A.

wow he owned you so bad with the classic "i'm holding my chips in my hand getting ready to call because i don't want you to bet because you have a better hand than me so maybe i'll scare you into checking even though i am calling you down no matter what."

Hand 1 - You have to bet the turn or raise the river - holding chips out screams weak king. If they have KJ, the cant reraise so you are fine.
Hand 2 - I think you have to call the turn and fold any unimproved river. Too many times, 2 pair is the most likely hand and you have odds to call.
