two hands from nl10 zoom? what do I do here?
Hand 1:
Hero opens Ac Ks from EP, everyone folds, bb calls
Flop: 3c Kh 2h
Hero bets 1/3(its probably more of a check in theory but I still prefer to c-bet), the villain check raises 7x my bet What do I do here? It seems like it's very weak to this check raise but what is he really check raising with? It's most likely a set, maybe nut FD. I of course called.
Turn: 8d
Villain bets 3/4 and now it's a very high chance it's a set. A lot of people just check after they didn't hit their flush. I fold. Shouldn't I just fold on the flop? It's micros in the end of the day, not high stakes.
Hand 2:
CO opens, I 3b AhQc from BB
Flop: 6c Qh 4c
Hero c-bet 1/3, CO calls.
Turn: Jh
Hero bets 3/4, CO jams 80bb, Hero calls. In theory it's probably a call but I don't know about that one or is this spot one of the 'I have to call'? What would you do here?

Hand 1:
The K32 board is actually quite good for the EP PFR I would say. You have the advantage in AA/KK/AK/KQs as for the BB these are 3-bets. Depending on whether you open 33/22 from EP or not, BB is gonna have an advantage in sets here, but still BB ranges are very wide (even vs. EP) so it's not a large portion of his range. I like the approach of betting small with a large portion of your range. This is the exactly the sizing you would want to choose with hand like KQ or KJs as you (i) get payoff from weaker Kx hands and (ii) need to deny equity vs. BB's Ax hands. Putting AK into this size seems really fine to me.
OTF and OTT you can't get away IMO. Since you c-bet small for a high frequency, BB is supposed to have quite some checkraises here. These will be constructed around sets but also FDs and BDFD+SD type of hands (such as 6c5c). The turn does not interact with BB's air range so he is supposed to polarize and go for a bigger sizing when he bets. You are on top of your range (only KK/AA are our only better holdings if we don't open 33/22). I played in the NL10 Zoom pool not so long ago and I think the population can definitely show up with bluffs here. My plan would be to call turn and decide OTR. On dynamic runouts I'm folding (since BB is likely not doing a good enough job in turn bluffing range construction to have bluffs even on dynamic rivers). On a static runout you could consider calling.
Hand 2:
In this case, I would advocate for a bigger sizing OTF as this doesn't seem like a spot to bet range here. In general, on Qxx boards equities should run closer than on Kxx boards since you 3-bet less Qx than Kx hands and the CO is also gonna have quite some suited Qx in his range. Second, the 6 and 4 interact relatively well with the PFC's defending range (though Q65 would be worse), giving 6x a pair and hands like 87s a gutshot. Third, the PFC range is shifted towards suited hands, so the two-tone nature of this board lowers the equity of your overpairs/top pairs. I would play something like 50% bet or check, with AhQc predominantly betting.
OTT with two flush draws on board, also here I'm not sure whether you can really get away, though I would be willing to find exploitative folds vs. opponents I have played with before.
I know that people can find bluffs at nl10. The problem is that it's a very small population that bluff like that. Most of the time they will show up with a set in hand 1. It's just annoying that I try to play theory correct poker and I call knowing that I'm probably behind but the call is correct in theory. I'm just considering to start folding to check raises, especially big ones if the board is dry.
Let's say a nit SB opens, I 3b with QQ from BB, SB 4bets and solver in my situation 5b jams. That's my problem. Instead of exploiting him, I jam knowing that I'm behind but 'it's the theory correct play'.
IMHO its a lot likely to be A4 A5 Hearts with the CkR F it works well here as if you hav'nt got the K you have to fold a lot, of couse he has to barrel turn with the same combo,then at 10nl expect him to give up on river.
