Default getting paid from the blinds

Over the past few days I've flopped several big hands after raising from the blinds. I have yet to get paid off. It may just be bad timing. Looking over the hands here it looks like I'm banging my head against a wall.

In each hand I thought checking would be too obvious and that a c-bet would look standard after the squeeze-type preflop raise.

Anyway, what do you think?

Hand 1:

BN is 64/24/3.4
SB is 18/12/2.6

6 Players

<font color="black">Stack Sizes</font>
UTG: $98.50
MP: $136.35
CO: $102.30
BTN: $209.70
SB: $152.6
Hero (BB): $153.85

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($1.5, 6 players)
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $2</font>, SB calls $1.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $8</font>, BTN calls $6, SB calls $6

<font color="black">Flop:</font> 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($24, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $18</font>, BTN folds, SB folds
Uncalled bet of $18 returned to Hero

Hand 2:

Hand 1 is fine.

Hand 2 is an easy check. You have the deck crippled and if villain has a Q, it's all getting int he middle no matter how you play it.

Hand 3 - Checking a dry flop in a re-raised pot is fine. Again with the A hitting the flop you are down to 2 streets of value unless villain has a set.

Hand 4 - See my previous comments.

I check hand 2 almost always, but usually lead the others.

I think hand 1 is a check, what are you getting called by here if you bet 3/4 pot?? I would think a set is it.
