Hand #2 Fold preflop. He's short and you have a horrible hand against some randoms min 3-betting range. I'm guessing the very reason why you didn't shove the flop is because you figured he was almost always on QQ+ here and it's more +EV for you to call, but this spot kinda just shows why preflop sucks.

1st hand (QQ)
If I had played this hand I would have Continuation-Bet the flop to 50$, then fold to a raise. If called, I'd Check-fold the turn & river unless a miracle Q comes.
After deep thought, I think I would have donkeyed as this C-bet might be wrong (and check-folding be the best play). You're probably beat : Your reraise PF represented AA,KK,QQ, AKs perhaps AK. Yet, he called with only 170$ remaining after the call (1,5x the pot). Therefore, he probably has such a hand also. If I had to take a bet, I'd definetly say AKs, but AA/KK are also good possibilities - he'd be hoping to double-up by trapping. Perhaps also some high-aces preferably suited like AQs, or lower pocket pairs. (but i'm not sure Pocket pairs would have the implied odds to call your 3-bet preflop - it's a very close call, but perhaps in the heat of battle ... ).
2nd hand (AJo)
If I'd play this hand I would have called his allin bet.
Good pot odds (about 1 vs 1.6), lots of outs if you're against higher pocket pair, and dominating other Ace-X. His bet at the flop looks like a CBet. On the Turn, it might be a bet to deny you the potodds to chase the flush (or a plain desesparation-bet). Unfortunatly for him, you just got TPTK.
Doing calculations (if I didn't mess things up), this is a very clear "call", and (for once), a good one
His Min-reraise might represent high pocket pairs or a high suited-ace.
- I wouldn't think KQs might be a reraise hand oop (but again I play much lower limits ... so I just don't know for sure). So imo, he most probably doesn't have a flush.
- If he has AA (6 possibilities), you're dead to another jack or a diamond (11 outs).
- If he has KK or QQ (24 possibilities), you have 3 additionnal outs (14 outs).
- If he has JJ (1 possibility only), only the diamonds will save you (8 or 9 outs).
- If he has TT (6 possibilities), again you need a diamond (8 outs - the Jd gives him a full).
- If he has AK or AQ (24 possibilities), you win unless he rivers his kicker.
- If he has AT (9 possibilites, he needs yet another T)
Other hands are less likely (reraising oop preflop seems quite dangerous), but let's check anyway.
- If he has KJ or QJ, he has to pair the board his kicker to win ... that'll teach him
. - If he has KQ, he must river his K or Q. (If he has KQs-diamond ... he just got lucky)
- If he plays JT, 55, 44, or 54s by reraising oop preflop ... well, he's a lucky maniac
- If he is on air, well too bad for him.
- If he plays lower pairs 99-66;33-22 ... he needs to make a trip
