NL 100, OOP with AA

Not liking this spot I put myself in. Want a line check but I'm pretty sure I mucked this up somewhere.
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP2 ($49.70)
Jedi ($160.60)
Button (Villain) ($158.80)
SB ($183.75)
BB ($29)
UTG ($61)
MP1 ($116.80)

Preflop: Jedi is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, Jedi raises to $3, Button (Villain) calls $3, 2 folds.

Flop: ($7.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Jedi bets $4, Villain calls $4.

At the time, I thought it was a standard c-bet, but looking at the 2 heart flop, I think I should have bet more.

Turn: ($15.50) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Jedi checks, Villain bets $8, Jedi calls $8.
I thought this was a standard check to keep the pot small, but now I'm not sure I shouldn't have bet here either.

River: ($31.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Jedi ???

What's my river action here? Results later.

Stop playing so weakly, you realize you have ace-ace right?

More pre-flop, more on the flop, bet turn, bet river, etc...

Goes something like big pots and big bets are for big hands.

By the way, we know nothing about villian?

LOL ok.

I wasn't sure the first time whether you were agreeing or disagreeing.

bet about 90% of the pot every street

turn is an awesome card for u, and you should bet almost pot to protect your hand and get max value. If you check the turn, its a mandatory check raise.

Try to win a stack here.

My standard raise would be 4 dollars pre-flop at the 100nl. On the flop i would likely bet 8 dollars on the flop. If i get called, on the turn the pot is around 25 dollars, so i would bet 20 or so. The 6 is a really good card for you because it decreases the possibility that he has flopped a set on you, and also protects against a 10,9 or single pair hand drawing out on you for two pair. If he flat calls the 20 dollars, than i would likely have him on the flush draw, depending on the villian though i would be concered with a set, a suited connector like 8,7 or 7,5 and hoping for the best case scenario, that he has 10,10 to k,k. The river 4 is a little bit scary but only 7,5 made the straight and you were already well behind a set or an ungly 6,7 so with the pot at 65 dollar and your stack at 125 i would definetly check/call the river for a pot sized bet and fold to a all-in dependent on the villian. I think you'll definetly get the occasional bluff from a missed flush or straight and the occasional value bet from an over-pair. You could make a case for a block/value bet on the river but then with a reraise all-in you've committed your self to call.

Yeah, I suck at this game. Villain was something like 26% VPIP, don't remember the other stats off the top of my head.

Results: I blocked the river, villain pushed, I picked up my skirt and folded. Damn, it was time for me to go to bed.

Moral of the story? AA is a good enough hand on that board to go with, right?
