The first hand is not a snapcall for me. I might lay this down as well if villian is decent, but the overbet looks weird!

In the second hand I will most likely call. His range is not as tight, as some people might think and I you are ITM and should be using these +EV to gain chips. If he would have a hand which beats you I doubt he would overbet the flop. Draws and weak Aces or Kings are more likely imo.

First hand is so bad, that is a total instacall and in fact I am happy he openshoved because a lot of people will play top pair no diamond that way figuring they protect their hand.
2nd hand is actually close, depends on how the guy plays.

Later, I got a do-over. Different game, different villain.
