FR Did I overplay AA's?

No read on MP2. On an earlier hand with CO I had QQ, I raised preflop, and flop, checked turn and 1/2 pot the river. He just called and checked the whole way and turned over pocket AAs.

Hero ($4.55)
MP1 ($1.24)
MP2 ($0.62)
CO ($4.47)
Button ($6.35)
SB ($5.34)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.1, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10, 2 folds, BB calls $0.08.

Flop: ($0.41) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.3, MP2 raises to $0.52, CO calls $0.52, BB folds, Hero calls $0.22.

Turn: ($1.97) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $2, CO calls $2.

River: ($5.97) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $1.93 (All-In), CO calls $1.85 (All-In).

Final Pot: $9.75

I was going to 3bet the flop, but I only had the option to call. Should I have pushed the turn?
And as played should I just check the river? I felt he would just bet and I was getting it all in anyway. I can't fold the river can I?

why are you trying to fold? GO ALL THE WAY !!

I don't like calling that raise on the flop. There's enough dead money in there...shove or fold. And I'm shoving a billion percent of the time.

Pushing the turn would be your next best option.

River is fine...if he hit a set, then he hit a set. But you'll see enough garbage hands to make getting all you chips in with AA very profitable at these levels.

Re-raise the flop. Give CO another opportunity to put money in bad. He won't turn it down.

I can't even consider folding at any point in this hand.

Guys, he CAN'T raise the flop, MP's all-in didn't reopen the betting. If it had, then a reraise would be the way to go. OP, you played it fine.
