Interesting KK and AA hands at very loose table

Here are a couple of hands I played in the same Stars $20 + $2 SnG. This was the loosest table I have yet to experience (at least on Stars).

First, here is a hand in which I got KK UTG early in round 2. Do you think I played this reasonably?

CO (t1600)
Button (t1015)

BB (t2580)
Hero (t1390)
UTG+1 (t770)
MP1 (t1170)
MP2 (t1290)
MP3 (t2035)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t90, UTG+1 calls t90, 1 fold, MP2 raises to t150, MP3 calls t150, 2 folds, SB calls t135, 1 fold, Hero raises to t1390, UTG+1 calls t680 (All-In), MP2 calls t1140 (All-In), MP3 calls t1240, SB folds.

Flop: (t5020) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t5020) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t5020

Results in white below: 
Hero has Kd Kh (flush, king high).
UTG+1 has Jh Ac (one pair, jacks).

Outcome: Hero wins t5020. 

Next, here is an AA hand I got later in the same tourney! I'm confident I played this correctly, so I'm posting this for entertainment value. It's good to know there are still people playing at this level fishier than than me. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] I did go on to win this tourney. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
