Well sir:
I would prefer to know amounts bet etc (unless its limit holdem).
Hand 1:
I would probably fold pre-flop. I don't wanna be playing Ace rag (even if it is soooted!) to a pre flop raiser, as if an ace falls its really difficult and can be expensive to find out where you are.
As played:
He check-raises you on the flop, which i would take a sign of strength, unless he does this all the time?? , but the worrying thing is the Button who flat calls again? When he bets straight out at you again on the turn, I am thinking its time to let this go. He was the initial pre-flop raiser, then check-raised and lead out the turn. I think you are beat.
I think he is probably on AQ, AK, possibly KK.
Just my thoughts anyways.
Hand2:
I play the same. I doubt he has a jack when he flat calls the turn, so i lead again at the river hoping to build another pot in-case the MP3 player hold a Jack.
Those are my thoughts. I might be wrong, but worth a shot.

In Hand 1, normally with an early bet and a raise ahead, folding A9s is an easy fold. If however you still want to play that hand, then I feel you need to re-raise in order to try to get HU with MP1. True that A9s is a flush drawing hand only and drawing hands want company, but after you fail to get a good flush draw on the flop, despite getting top pair - your kicker sux. Consider folding flop as well cuz just calling it down makes little sense.
Hand 2 - well if you're up against a Jack you're screwed. I like that you're willing to cap the flop, and you're betting to see where you stand on the turn. Interesting that MP1 just called the turn but I'd expect a raise from him on the river, so a check call down would be your best bet.
