Default A few $5/$10 6 max hands

I had played $5/$10 full ring for a while and decided to siwtch to 6 max. When I did this I moved back down to $1/$2 to work on my 6 max game which I was new to. Ive been shredding the game and decided to try the $5/$10 6 max today. I dont know if the players were much better and trickier or if I just had a lot of tough hands for 1 session. Here are a couple hands that gave me trouble. See what you think...Assume $1000 stacks in all hands

#1) Button raises to $40, I reraise to $135 in the SB with AA. He calls.

Pot $280. Flop 853. I bet $175 and he calls.
Pot $630. Turn K. I check. He pushes all in and I call.
I figure if I check, he will push just about any pocket pair or AK. Good? Bad?

#2) I raise to $40 with 88. Button reraises to $120. I call.

Pot $240. Flop K73. I check and he checks behind.
Pot $240. Turn 2. I bet $200. He raises to $500 and I fold.
In the lower games, I would play for a set or give up since most people dont reraise w/o a big pair or AK, btu I dont know if people might reraise my preflop raise here with something like AJ thinking Im stealing. When he checks the flop I took a stab at the turn. Good? Bad? Looks like KK now that he raised me.

#3) Same villain from hand #1 raises to $40. I call with 44.
Pot $95. Flop 776. He checks, I bet $50. He min check raises to $100. I reraise to $350. Good? Bad?

#4) I raise to $40 with QTs. Same villain again calls (different table). Hes in the SB this time.

Pot $85 Flop 744 (2 clubs). He leads $80. I raise to $240 and he calls.

Pot $565. Turn Jc. He checks and I push in.

I normally dont play this aggressively. I mean my total aggression number is about 4.5, but I dont play huge pots all the time like I seemed to be doing here. I dont know if these guys were trying to push me around with all the reraising preflop because stakes are higher or if they really had big hands alot of the time.

Hand 3 I probably bet a little bit more just so it doesn't look like a weak stab, I probably call if he minraises barring a specific read and then see waht he does on the turn/how he respons to what hits, player dependent.
