Default unusual hand I\'d like your feedback on

Button was 81/49, and was on serious tilt, especially against me.
BB was 24/18/2.36 over 150 hands.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, Hero calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks.

I always raise aces. However, the button was on such serious tilt, I thought I'd get more money in the pot by limp reraising. It didn't work.

Flop: (4.40 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, BB calls, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.

Button's cap was his standard tilt play. My read is that he hit a piece of the flop, but I'm probably still ahead.
BB's check-double cold call is disturbing me.

Turn: (8.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB caps</font>, Hero calls.

Looking at this now, I really can't 3 bet here, I can't be ahead.
Given the cap, I'm either up against a straight, in which case I have no outs, or up against a set, where I have 2 outs. I don't think 2 pair is a likely holding.
I don't have enough odds to call even a 2 outer, so I suppose I should develop the discipline to fold pocket Aces to this cap?

River: (17.20 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.

I just called here, since I couldn't convince myself that a set was significantly more likely than a straight.

Final Pot: 19.20 BB
