Default Sanity check with sets, not that deep 5/10 NL

This is probably pretty standard, so let me know if this should be posted lower (or just move it).

5/10 NL, 9 handed
Hero ~1800
Villain ~6000
Villain has been running very well and he is plaing extremely loose and aggro. Few rounds ago he doubled up against another 300bb stack, when he kept chaisng one-card straight to the river and hit. Guy is by no means afraid to play big pots with very marginal hands. He is even looser PF.

I raise JJ UTG to 35, Villain calls in LP, BB calls.
Flop: K J T rainbow pot:110
Hero bets 90, villain raises to 270, BB folds, Hero calls
Turn is a brick. Pot is 650. I check, villain bets 350, I push.

Similar hand.
5/10 NL, 5 handed.
Hero ~1900, Villain covers.
I raise to 35 UTG+1 with KK, villain (solid and aggro player, who I tend to respect) raises to 100 in CO, folded around to me, I call.

Flop(pot:215): K J T, 2 diamonds, I have no diamonds.
I bet 180, he raises to 400 or so, I reraise to 700 (meant to be a pot-sized raise, but I somehow screwed it up). Villain pushes. I call.

Normally I'm more or less happy to get the money in in both spots, but I'm trying to figure out alternative lines in spots like this. Is this pretty much default play or am I missing something?
