Default Small blind AA

Hi all, I'd just like to post a hand I recently played at the local casino (Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois) and get some feedback on the way I played it. I'm new with this so please bear with me.

10/20 Limit Hold Em.

I'm in the small blind, there is one late position limp and I look down at A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], so I raise. The big blind makes it 3 bets and the limper folds. The big blind is one of the best players that frequents this card room. He is tight-aggressive and is a consistent winner. I have a lot of respect for his game and you could even say I modeled my game after his style when I was coming up. Anyway, I decide to cap it at 40 and he of course calls.

The flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I bet out 10, he raises to 20 (which he would basically do no matter what he had) and I just call, planning to check-raise the turn. The turn is a blank, the 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and I check. He says "So are you gonna check-raise me?" and bets. I say "yeah" and I raise. Now he immediately makes it 60. At this point I'm not feeling too comfortable. I don't think he has a king simply because there are two kings on board. And since he 3-bet me preflop, at that time if I were to put him on a range of hands that he would 3-bet with, it would be limited to AK or KK. Since I have two aces, it makes it very unlikely that he has AK, and with two kings on board that makes KK unlikely. I am sort of worried about QQ, but other than that I don't know what to think.

So, I call one more bet on the turn and then it goes check, check on the river (another blank) and he shows TT.

I guess now that I look back and know what he had, it's easy to second-guess my play. But I'd like to hear other opinions. Was I too passive? Do I make it 80 on the turn? 3-bet the flop?

Any advice, comments, etc., would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ivica
