Is my bet sizing correct?

I'm reviewing some of my hands from this afternoon's $1 SNG session. There are a few hands where I am worried that my bet size either scared people off easily, or that they are so big that they become a problem.

I'd love to know your take on the hands please. There are more examples, but these are a selection. There is a small theme running in other hands.

HAND 1

Pacific Poker - 20/40 Ante 5 NL - Holdem - 8 players

BTN: 850
Hero (SB): 1,480
BB: 1,390
UTG: 1,392
UTG+1: 3,321
MP: 1,240
MP+1: 2,517
CO: 1,310

8 players post ante of 5, Hero posts SB 20, BB posts BB 40

Pre Flop: (pot: 100) Hero has Q♣ T♥

fold, fold, fold, MP+1 calls 40, CO calls 40, fold, Hero calls 20, BB checks

Flop: (200, 4 players) 6♣ 2♠ T♣
Hero bets 132, fold, MP+1 calls 132, CO calls 132

Turn: (596, 3 players) Q♠

Hero bets 420, fold, fold

HAND 2

I felt like not messing around and wanted to get all the money in. But is this a leaky way to play AK?

BTN: 3,273
Hero (SB): 2,245
BB: 1,360
UTG: 4,262

5 players post ante of 10, Hero posts SB 50, BB posts BB 100

Pre Flop: (pot: 200) Hero has K♠ A♠

fold, CO raises to 250, fold, Hero raises to 2,235 and is all-in, fold, fold

jap its fine in the fist hand. Maybe a litte less on the turn. with aks from the sb shoving is easier to play if you are oop. Keep in mind that with 3k I would start raising.

In general if you have less than 10 times open raise size at least think about 3bet shoving. In AKs small 3bet would be at smallest like 700 which would commit you on most flops as you would have bit over SPR 1 left.
