Long time lurker ... treat me gently please! Two hands I played live yesterday and not sure if I did the right thing; ended up busting out with 88 vs QQ when short stacked, but these 2 hands helped me get down to that situation.
1:
Blinds 500/1000
Table folds round to CO (Hero, 40k) with AKo, raises to 2.5k
Button (TAG, 60k), raises to 8k
SB/BB fold, I call so now heads-up
Flop comes 3 6 9 rainbow
I check, button bets 6.8k
After thinking whether to raise all in, I fold ... Button had previously only 3bet with AA and JJ so had them on pocket pair
2:

J
, raise to 2.5k
Button (TAG, 65k) calls
SB (LAG, 70k) calls
BB folds, so now 3-way
Flop comes K
6
7
I bet 2k
Button calls
SB raises 6k
Button and I both fold (SB then shows a red 3) ... was worried they had set/better kicker - but was that too tight?
