Re: $22 - Out first hand with AA - How bad did I mess this up?
I think your flop bet is fine. I like a standard bet here, and my standard bet is about 2/3 pot. I may be giving my opponents too much credit by keeping my bets standard, but I realy don't like leaking information.
I'd check the turn. You have the Ah, so you are not going anywhere, but you would really like to see a cheap showdown at this point if you don't see another heart. On the river, if you don't catch a flush, you may have a tough decision to make, but often you will see a moderate bet that is trying to milk you, or a check behind from a good but vulnerable hand. Villain may not even bet the turn, fearing the flush. (And if he has the flush, there is a good chance he makes small bets trying to squeeze a little more money out of you, so you end up with chips left even if you don't hit your flush.)
