How do I handle these situations? NL$25

Hi.
I have some problems knowing how to play accordingly in situations like these. These two hands came within 10 minutes yesterday and about 15 minutes before that I lost almost a buyin (with KK!) against a calling station hiting his 2-outer on the river, so my confidence was a little low....

Hand 1: Villain is 28/8 over 83 hands.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $22.81
CO: $29.10
Button: $10.35
Hero: $28.25
BB: $32.55

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO raises to $1.5, Button folds, Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, CO raises to $18.5, Hero??

Hand 2: Villain is 47/11 over 36 hands so...

UTG raises to $0.75, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero raises to $4, BB folds, UTG raises all-in $28.61, 2 folds, Hero??

Do I call here and pray? It seems like AA to me but then again, I´m a bit weak-tight sometimes.

Greateful for any help.

Hero insta-calls

Hand 1: KK + avg./weak read + <150 BBs + OOP = push
Hand 2: KK + avg./weak read + <150 BBs = call

Sure its AA a lot...but not enough to fold.

1) shove
2) snapcall

same here. At these levels (and I'd say probably at all levels) it's the most profitable play.

Yes, you can easily lose on those hands again with your KK which would give you an 0-fer-3 streak for KK. Been there done that. Still...

1) insta-call
2) you could be up again AA, but at this level players will push AK, QQ as well. I call and hope a King falls.

why dont i see the difference between hand 1 and 2, but i do see people give different answers for the 2 hands?

Yesterday i played two pretty much the same hands, once opponent had AA, once AK...

KK is always a call, unless u got a perfect read on villain.
