hand 2 is close... ur rele going to go set mining or trying to keep pot small on smallish flop. If you're careful it mite be +EV to call here, but personally folding is ok vs his range (since u NEED to hit J in order to stack him when he has big pair, and u have to be able to fold JJ on low flop assuming he has a bigger pair, and if he has AK and whiffs you just c/c his cbet and win a sorta decent pot).

What the hell? Calling 34 with ~400 behind even if it's just to hit a set is a no-brainer.

if you put a lot of AK into his range, no, it isn't. and even if you put a lot of AK into his range you are still not +EV to 4 bet.

Yea I agree 100%. If I put him squarely on AA/KK then I would've called. Anyway I folded both, though I felt like a huge pansy.
