I think you overbet preflop. You raised 12x BB in 1st position at a 6 handed table? You're lucky you got a caller. I would have raised about 3xBB probably. The rest of the hand is alright though. Maybe I'd reraise a little less after you've already been reraised. But allin is alright.

For the first hand I agree with the other comments. I don't like the min reraise PF. I would have raised to between $6 and $8. And on the flop I don't like the tiny bet you made. If he's drawing you're giving him a free card. But is an acceptable play. It's a slowplay with the nuts. It's a variation of the check-raise (the $1 bet PF is so small it's like a check). The $1 could induce a raise if your opponent thinks it shows weakness. So it's not too bad.
