I play 1/3-2/5 live and was wondering about a few spots last week. I wrote the hands off as coolers but am thinking if I could of gotten off cheaper in these spot's.
First hand was me in the small blind with 33, there are 5 limpers too me and I complete and BB checks. Flop comes 22K and checks around...turn comes a 3 and I bet 16, UTG calls and folds around. River is a 10 and I bet 40 into villain, he reraises to 100, I push and he snap calls....he flips over pocket 2's. This does come off as a straight cooler but thinking back on the hand I definitely could put him on the three hands that beat me (22,1010,KK), unless he is limping random duece rag hands the only hands he has there is A2,23,24 and the the three hands that beat me.......I am pretty sure I shove here every time but was thinking maybe I could have just called his reraise as it shows a lot of strength with a pretty narrow range.
The second hand is 1/3 also, table is seven handed and I limp K10 UTG+2.me and villain are both sitting on about 400$..whole table limps and BB checks. Flop comes K10J rainbow, SB/BB check and UTG makes it 14 to go. A short stack pushes about 30$ he has left into me and I call, UTG calls. Turn is a 10 and UTG bets 50 into me I reraise to 150 and he pushes, I call. UTG shows JJ and scoops.
In spots like this , I am wondering if any players here are folding or flatting.....the k10 hand I am fairly certain most are not getting away from but the first hand in particular I could see a flat on the river being correct.
Wondering what some other players thought of these spots, thank you for any input.

Next time to get better responses, limit the number of hands per thread to one, don't post results, and format the hands nicer (see other threads for examples).
Unless stacks are crazy deep in the 33 hand, I would chalk that up to a cooler and I'm fine with the hand.
I would fold KTo in EP (I'm fine limping it if is suited). I don't hate the flop call but I would tread carefully since there are a lot of hands that beat us at this point. Even though it kinda sucks to go broke for 133bbs in a limped pot, I probably also do once the turn arrives; straights and JT pay off, possibly even weirdo AA/etc.
