AA & KK Cracked - Suggestions?

[jdeane]

Warning: This took place in a free tournament at a bar (playing for social reasons). The majority of the players in these do not have any sort of logic or poker skill.

Hand 1

Hero: ~ T300
Villain: ~ T100

Hero: KhKs

Blinds: 2 – 4
Folds around to Villain (MP3) raises to 16, fold, fold, Hero (Button) Raises to 66, Villain calls 50.

Flop: [10c 6c Qh]

Villain checks, Hero bets 50, Villain calls all-in 44

Turn: [10c 6c Qh] [8d]

River: [10c 6c Qh] [8d] [As]

Villain turns over AcQd (Two Pair, Aces & Queens)
Hero mucks KhKs (1 Pair, Kings)

Hand 2:

Hero: ~ T300
Villain: ~ T200

Hero: AcAd

Blinds: 3 – 6

2 Limps to Villain (BTN) limps, Hero (SB) raises to 30, BB folds, fold, fold, Villain calls 24.

Flop: [10d 5h 3h]

Villain bets 50, Hero raises to 170, Villain calls all-in 120

Turn: [10d 5h 3h] [Kh]

River[10d 5h 3h] [Kh] [4s]

Villain turns over QhTh (Flush, King high)
Hero mucks AhAs (1 Pair, Aces)

This may seem like a cry baby, my Aces & Kings got cracked story, but I am wondering if there was anything in the world I could have done differently in either of the hands.

All comments are much appreciated.

You can always fold KK preflop. There used to be a section in the SSNL FAQ about folding KK preflop.

And in a crazy bar game, you might have pulled the move of honor (MOH) with your aces by open pushing while crying, "Bring me another beer, wench...!"

Actually, there is nothing wrong with either hand. You got your money in as the favorite. Your hand didn't hold up. At least you didn't get out flopped and get all-in with your overpair vs a set. Now in THAT case, there might have been some opportunity to fold and save your stack. But given the tournament you describe, my guess is that an overpair would be good enough often enough that you just would have to get the money in since villain might have any number of TPWK hands they think are the nuts.
