Default Re: AA on xyy board (WA/WB?)

I played a hand in a similar situation where I held AA and the board came TTJ in a NL25 game.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO ($50.20)
Button ($30.05)
SB ($9.50)
BB ($14.09)
UTG :#A500AF(Villain)/ ($40.70)
UTG+1 ($30.80)
MP1 ($33.90)
Hero ($33.35)
MP3 ($28.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, UTG :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.35) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villain bets $0.75</font>, Hero calls $0.75.

Turn: ($3.85) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villain bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, Villain calls $2.

River: ($11.85) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villain bets $10</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $21.85

I didn't have a good read on the villain as I had just recently joined the table. I was sure I had the better hand, however given the river bet, that set off some alarms. Looking back at this hand I think I should have raised a bit more on the turn to figure out where I was at, perhaps to around $5-$6. But if he smoothed call, and bet $10 on the river, what then?

After playing a few more orbits at the table I'm still not sure whether I had the best hand or not. Villain seems to play the flop aggressively, half of the time he has a made hand, and the other half it is a bluff attempt. Given the information I had during this hand, did I make the right moves?
