I know this happens all the time, but I'm a bit angry and just wanted to share it. Luckily these were low stakes.

Hand 1 was at a freeroll, so I don't care too much about it.

Hand 2 was at an sng, so it's the one that fits this thread. I guess I should have folded to the old check/raise in such a board?

I think you just don't understand that AA isn't nuts! Here is a statistic that shows that 77 wins 1 hand in 5 and KQo 1 hand in 10 against AA!

That means that in 10 games when you have AA and push preflop you will loose 2 times when villain has a pp and 1 time when he has a KQo....

P.S.

Spoiler

..of course, you can win all ten games, but then loose 4 in a row and so on... But in 1 000 or 1 000 000 hands it will be very close to 19.5 % and 12.88 %..

I have moved your hand to our tournament hand discussion forum, because it’s fits better there.

First hand I would raise instead of shoving so deep. Not sure why you would do that.
Hand 2 is a situation I would earlier shove with a smaller stack of 17bb, but in both cases a raise would be the normal line. In hand 2 a min raise would be better with a smaller stack and on the flop you are committed anyway, but a half pot bet is big enough on a board like this.

Cheers,
