Default Yet another Big pair question

Lately I seem to be loosing alot with big pocket pairs. Most of them have been all-in preflop w/aces and get sucked out. I will continue to go all in with aces preflop when I can pull it off. The question then becomes, what about when I dont get all in. Such as here:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

UTG+2 ($23.75)
MP1 ($24.25)
MP2 ($29.15)
MP3 ($25.9)
CO ($15.35)
Button ($55.95)
Hero ($25.9)
BB ($34.7)
UTG ($37.7)
UTG+1 ($60.5)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $2</font>, Button calls $2, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to $5.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls $4, Button calls $4.

Flop: ($18.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero calls $19.90 (All-In), CO calls $9.35 (All-In), Button calls $19.90.

Turn: ($67.65) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: ($67.65) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $67.65

Cut off Had AsTs - Pair of tens on flop
Button had 3c3h - set of 3's on flop.

Did I just get unlucky, or how should I play this hand post-flop? My guess is that I probably played it too fast. The only (good) player that could call me would have me beat with two pair (in which case I have plenty outs), or a set (in which case 2 outs). But on PP it seems that I would get called by weaker hands more often (IE the ATs). Any Ideas. It was probably my 20th hand on the table . Cutoff was a pretty aggressive player that would have raised the blinds with pretty much any ace, dont know much about button.
