Check my line and reasoning please...

I think I played this okay on all streets, I'd just like some confirmation. The end felt like spew though.

Not much of a read on the villian. His stats, over a whole 20 hands, is 25/18/3. He's a bit aggro.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, CO raises, 2 folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

I limped here after two limpers. I would raise if it's only 1 limper. Didn't mind the raise, actually expected it from the guy behind me, if he was going to play.

Flop: (10.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, CO bets, BB calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, BB calls, Hero calls.

I check-raised because I was pretty sure villian would bet and I didn't want to face the field with 2 cold. I was really disappointed more didn't call for 1. Would C/C be a better line?

Turn: (9.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, CO raises, BB folds, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, Hero calls.

I bet because I didn't want it to get checked through and I've made my hand. If he's on the flush draw, I'm not giving a free card, plus the bet is for value if I'm WA. His raise kind of scared me, but I 3-bet with a made hand for value. The cap scared me.

River: (17.75 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 21.75 BB

I just couldn't not bet. If it got checked behind with AQ or something stupid like that I would have thrown up. The flush didn't realize itself, so now I really am betting for value. WA/WB

Like? Dislike?

Any help appreciated.
