Default AA vs paired board.. Do we fear the trips, like bad acid ?

BisonBison's convertor does not handle the web page pokerroom output.

Goes like this.
I get AA in late position.

One limper before me so I min-raise. The limper was pretty wild so I expected a raise and I would go all-in preflop. Well it did not work out that way so I see a flop with 4 players and 400 chips in the pot. This was my second AA and my first big raise yielded the blinds only. So that is my excuse for the lame raise preflop.

Flop comes

K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

It is checked to me so I throw out a bet of 600 at a pot of 400. Did I fear the 10 ? A little bit but I figured I wanted the AK and the flush draws to call.

I get check-raised all-in but it is only 250 more chips.

He had a 10. He was a bit of a maniac so I would not have respected his reraise no matter how many chips he had.

Is there any way to play this better ?

If the board was

10 10 3 then I would have folded to a check raise and may have bet less on the flop because the only hand that calls would be the hand that beats. With the K on the board I figured that someone having a K would call and therefore I had to take my chances on the trips.

Any and all advice welcome.
