How about this hand?

This hand was the hand after the second AA; I wasn't sure how I should play such a hand since I just showed down a monster after some aggressive raising

I checked the flop because I had some value in this hand and I didn't want to turn it into a bluff + since I showed a strong hand I only seen him calling with a hand that had me bet. Opinions?

Seems like a habit I have; bet mid pair to protect hand, get called and go into check down mode; leak?

I know the first hand I would reraised the player is showing strength and you probably can get him in on the flop. I would have cb the aqs hand flush draw with 3 aces as outs and he could called with alot of hands.
