You are better off posting them in the Strat section Breifne:

You'll get better feedback by not showing the result(peoples replys might/will be different).

Also flopturnriver has a hand converter to make it easier to read if you want:

I'll move it to the theory section

I'm a bit nitty when it comes to AJ in EP when i have ~25bb and i prefer just to open fold tbh. As played, once you bet the flop you really have to call his shove.

In the 2nd hand, meh i fold pre in this one too. I presume you check the flop to c/r? When he checks behind and the action goes to the turn, i c/r here aswel as it's your best chance of getting paid off rather than let the hand go to the river

H1: I fold AJo UTG at a full table in late stages
Once you decide play it, i most likely c-bet and calling he shove is standard

H2: I'll prob call 89 here getting >4/1, check flop and CRAI turn. I don't see the point in flat calling the turn and planning to lead the river.
Any 9, king or ace ruins your hand and leaves you with a very tough river to play
