I have about 200 hands on villain. He is really solid and we've been playing together for about two hours. The only hand I was worried about villain having preflop was KK. After his flop bet I put him on AJ and I instapushed right after his flop bet hoping he'd think I had KJ or something. Should I have just called here? At the time I didn't want to just flat call because I didn't want to have to give up the pot if a Ace or Jack comes on the turn. Also I don't think he's putting any more money into the pot if a brick hits because he knows how weak tight I am and would already be suspecting something is up. Is this bad logic or is a push ok? I find myself getting into these types of situations a lot, and by being too aggressive am I leaving money on the table, or is it not that bad because some of the time I will be called by AJ and be way ahead rather than screwing around and increasing my variance?

This is the first orbit since villain sat down. I don't have much of a read on him except that he appears to be loose. I think I pretty much have to call here and I feel like I'm ahead, but I'm not thrilled about his turn call allin either.

Hand 1 line works, but for hand 2 I would probably check behind on the turn and look to get it in on a river blank.
