1) Depends on vilain, if he is opening pretty tight (top 7.5% or so) I'd fold it, but if he opens more I reshove behind. If you don't have infos on him, it's close to fold or shove, but since you have 10BB+ left I take the survival option (fold).
2) Standard shove, you have 5BB, 900 to take in the middle (almost your stack) with a premium hand

Thanks guys.....just had one of those weeks where all the races or hands where i'm big favourite I've ending up losing.

I did wonder wether I could have just called with the AK then floated the flop but villian would have been priced on so probably wouldnt have made difference.

Are those pocket 10's potential folds against villians with same chip stack? I often think it might be weak to do so.
