Default AKo -- I make a boat (eventually)

The table is aggressive -- especially preflop -- so I'm having trouble playing anything unless I'm willing to play it for a raise. Fortunately, AKo qualifies.

SB is new to the table, and I only have 14 hands with him total. However, the previous occupant in his seat checkraise-bluffed the river with nothing a few orbits back, which may have influenced me.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (10 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 calls, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

I raised the flop because I thought I might have the best hand. The 3-bet got me to thinking otherwise. Still, I didn't think SB had trip threes.

Turn: (9.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 folds.

I decide to call and chase a boat.

River: (11.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises . . .</font>

Now I think my hand is best. Should I? And what do you think of my play in the hand overall?
