Default $10 NL -- AA Was my line correct or weak?

First orbit at table so no reads, although previous hand was AQs and the table folded to my 4XBB + 1 raise.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($10.60)
Button ($9.15)
SB ($3.35)
BB ($11.80)
UTG ($8.70)
UTG+1 ($2.75)
MP1 ($10)
Hero ($9.25)
MP3 ($9.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls $0.40, UTG folds.

With flop 3-bet, I worried whether I might not be up against two pair or even set. Wasn't confident enough to push but saw definite straight and flush possibilities for villain. Decided to call 3-bet and see turn. Was this avoiding the tendency to lose my head over tp or just plain weak?

Flop: ($1.15) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.6</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $2.7</font>, Hero calls $1.10.

Doubt this turn card helped villain but aiming for pot control here with call.

Turn: ($6.55) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $2.1</font>, Hero calls $2.10.

River completed flush. Didn't want to risk reraise so I again called.

River: ($10.75) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $10.75

Suggestions please, or does this seem about right?

In most of the games I play I frequently fold to the flop bet3bet. Depending on how often you think he will go nuts with one pair, you can continue accordingly.

BB seems to really like his hand and doesn't seem scared of AA.

Smells like 2-pair or better on this one. I think I look for a fold on the turn.

Looks fine to me - Don't see how you fold the turn getting 4:1

Note how villian plays the lead weak, 3-bet thing

Yeah, I thought I had a good enough shot to call, but the hand didn't leave me feeling like I'd necessarily played it well. I relinquished control at at the flop and only played along because I perceived he left me the odds to do so. When he mucked (AK[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) I felt more relief than satisfaction in having played well. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Fold flop 3-bet; he has two pair or set (a flush rarely). Not sure why he does not bet river though; strange c/r attempt? Without reads, I cannot see you likely being good here from turn on.

P.S. He had AK? Just shows what a fish I am; yeah, AK could be in his range if he is the TPTK=nuts type. And explains the river check.

9T hearts are pretty good looking in his range given his action.
