Just one thing I want to point out.

You should practically never re-raise so little no matter what you are holding. The call becomes mandatory with pretty much any 2 cards. It puts your opponent on an easy decision and instead gives away a lot of information.

Same thing here, your standard re-raise should be bigger, you are giving him $6 to call a pot of $20, I think generally you shouldn't give anyone better than 2-1 to see a flop. (but perhaps this guy was so awful that chasing him away before the flop is -EV.)
On the AA hand, I would normally re-raise to at least 20 in this spot (which at 1/2 6-max is a standard re-pop which gives away very little info). On this specific hand, i had a good read on UVAHOO after 400+ hands with him. Specifically that he hit any decent pair he would call down if he thinks i'm defending my big blind. I still should have raised more in retrospect.
The KK hand was a flat mistake pre-flop, i often have a hard time figuring out a proper re-raise against minraisers, i have to work on that. At this point i'm just happy to have won a few pots, hopefully now i can actually focus again and fix some things.
