$25NL 6max AA. Too tricky?

[Spanky1974]

Hi guys,
I just moved up to $25NL. I'm wondering if there is value in smooth calling 3bets and 4bets w/ AA at this level, or if the better play is to just shove pre-flop. $5NL, and $10NL, my play was always to push here. Any villains dump QQ-JJ or AK/AKs to a push? I'm thinking it's all going in on the flop anyhow, and I don't want to lose any customers. Here's two hands:

most of the time you should rr, but it's good to mix it up

If button had made a real raise first time around I like the call of the 3bet then c/r flop AI more than as played as there is still a chance he gets away on the flop push.

In hand2 due to the third player I like a 4bet here.
