Final Pot: t62366

Winner had KK (Reraiser) and other guy had 66
(These hands did occur within seven minutes of each other.)

My main problem with hand one seems to be more results based (" If only I stayed in, I wouldn't have been in have been out on the AQ hand)
The second hand I feel the only mistake I made was not pushing preflop, the result would have been the same, but I think it would have been the better overall move. Almost no one would fold for an extra 4K with the pot that big.

Can anyone help me out here?
