First hand is fine. I'd play it the same way.

Second hand looks good until the river. I would hold off on the three bet as unless the guy is that tricky or that stupid you pretty much have to figure you just got drawn out. You certainly had pot odds to pay off the raise though as there is a slight chance he could be holding QJ or Ax. But the hand screams 2 pair with the ace with the turn slow down and the raise on the river.
