Some aces and other preflop spots

Hey all,
I was playing 5/5/15 today off a short stack as I often do and ran into these spots. I wonder whether my play was good or not. My friend says thin edges are fine and he’s a seasoned pro. I always have second thoughts though whether the juice is worth the “squeeze.” (No pun intended.)
1. AA964 one 9-high suit, we limp in ep and mp isos to $85, several calls to us and we are working off a $500 or so stack. We can pretty much get almost our whole stack in if we wanted and original raiser could isolate.
2. AAT82 one t-high suit, a late position iso to $70 and one call and we are sb with $450.
3. AKJ95ds a-high j-high an ep open to $70 and a couple calls to us in the bb off a $300 stack.
4. AA992 one nut suit one non-nut suit, a late position open and a button call and we are in the bb.
Thanks,
DT

GTO might say some of these are not getins, but in live games where people play trash as often as they do, I think you're fine to get them all allin.
