I don't really like the 6BB bet pre-flop. It's a bit transparent, so people will just fold, or call with hands that have good potential to beat pocket pairs (like suited connectors). If they connect big on the flop, they're pretty sure you'll fire a c-bet, and are unwilling to let the hand go, since you are already invested (it's hard to control the pot if you start out that big). If they do not connect, they simply fold. This is giving up 6BB, but every once in a while they'll take your entire stack, that pays for the calls.
The point is that betting this big pre-flop is giving away information to your opponents, and does not usually get the best value from your monster hands.

Well from my point of view you have done everything right here my friend. You made a big raise with AA and you even got a caller. The reraise - all in on the flop is the only thing you can do. If that guy calls your big raise with 63 that is just bad luck.
