In the first hand (AK) it is not mathematically bad to jam but you should be trying to do the best action as in poker then can be many good or decent actions but we want to choose the best or most plus EV action.  In this case without knowing any other details calling pre flop is probably the best as you get to see a flop and even though your hand is not disguised and you may not get implied odds I think its better than jamming and more than likely getting it in as a 57/43 dog.  Plus villain does not always have QQ in this spot but could have 1010 or JJ where there is some wiggle room to attempt a bluff.  Not saying I would bluff but its an option we can still have that would give us even a tiny boost in equity on flops that come in with a Q.

The second hand is one of those hands where our holding is strong but without further details I think its a relatively easy fold.  Against a typical player at these levels what are they cold 4 betting with and within that range how much of it is JJ beating? I would say small % at best so this one is a hand where I generally say I would just fold and not tell anyone as sometimes you have to fold a strong hand that you know is more likely than not behind.  QQ in similar spots like this are the same especially if we did know the 4 bettor was tight.
