Hand 1: Obviously I was afraid of the straight. But is there another way to play the hand +ev? Villain is slightly loose preflop and moderately aggressive postflop (AF 2.6).

Hand 2: Here I tried to keep the pot small that I can show down my hand. Should I neglect the last king and play the hand as aggressively as a nut hand? By the way punkedya2c was a donk with VP$IP 82%.

Hand 1
It depends on how good your opponent is but I might fold the turn. If he is tight most likely he has the straight and will not pay you off if you fill up. If this is the case you don't have odds to continue. However, If he is bad and will pay you off then go ahead and make the call.

Hand 2
I would fold pre-flop. You hand is a naked pair of A's which doesn't flop very well. If I don't fold pre-flop against this opponent I play the rest of the hand exactly the same way. I don't raise the river because only a K would call and I don't think you can call a re-raise so you might get bluffed off the best hand.

I think if you are going to pursue either hand then raise the flop. Find out sooner rather than later what you are up against.
