My first thought is why not re-reaise preflop? You might have gotten a better read on his starting hand had you put the option of a call or cap back to him. On this big flop, in addition to villian's possible hands you listed, he might have AK or AQ, perhaps a backdoor flush draw with either, or in the case of A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] a flush draw. That said, the fact that you didn't re-raise preflop probably means he doesn't have you on AA, but a flush draw instead and may account for his weakness on the streets. I'll admit to getting confused on how to play AA with this board, but after the flop I'd probably do the same as you.
