-hand 2: UTG AK, i raise cca 1/3 of my stack, ready to go allin on the flop no matter what, 2 biggish stacks (both cca 40k) call, flop comes 6-4-4, i of course push the rest of my chips in, one big stack folds, the other goes in the think tank..and calls...with 66...LOL

2 options here...
1) push preflop...
2) get away from the hand.

I push preflop....
You may have had just enough to keep the big stacks from calling, or ideally, to get the 6-6 to fold....
You said it yourself, you were going to live and die with this hand...
Why give them an option to see a flop?

after the 3rd hr break, 50 ppl left, i have cca 50k, UTG JJ, raise 3xBB, small stack pushes allin, big stack (cca 100k) who has bullied the table previous several hands showing down baby aces/faces, pushes allin himself. im putting him on an isolation move, and call. he has KK.
JJ Is NOT an UTG type hand to get married to especially after a raise and a reraise. You;re stack was somewhat healthy, so after raising UTG, fold to the reraise.
You are either beat, or best case a coinflip...
Also you do NOT want to mess around with Big stacks.

I couldn't agree more with ChipFish especially on the first hand.

A Q and you limp in - no no no. You want to make sure there aren't any people playing straight or flush draws - get rid of them early or expect that to happen. It won't happen everytime but if you let people stay and chase sometimes they are going to catch.
