Default Top Pair 2nd Kicker vs solid player

UTG+1 is a decent, but not tricky player that I have over 500 hands with and he is 20/5/1.5. I don't think he thinks I am a weak player so his pre-flop raise is not to isolate a weak player (At least I don't think his perception of me could be that [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img])

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="blue"> Ok, What would he three-bet me with. AA(1), KK(6), AK(8), QQ(3), JJ(3), TT(6). I don't think he three-bets with much more, so on this flop I am ahead of 15 hands, KK(6), QQ(3) &amp; TT(6) and behind 12 hands AA(1), AK(8), JJ(3) So I bet. Should I three-bet his raise on the flop with intent to call a cap and fold the turn unimproved or is calling down HU ok now? I figure if he holds KK, QQ, TT a three-bet from me will shut him down and if I am behind, he will either cap me here or call and raise the turn.</font>

Turn: (5.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

<font color="blue"> Same stats as on the flop, I am actually ahead of his possible holdings more than behind.</font>

River: (7.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero ?

<font color="blue"> This is a bad card for me, I am now behind AA(1), KK(3), JJ(3), AK(6), 13 hands, but am only ahead of 9 hands, QQ(3) and TT(6). I am getting 8.5:1 on this call, but I don't think he bets QQ or TT here 12% of the time but I can hear Ed Miller whispering in my ear, "You fold at the river too much."</font>

As always, criticism of any part of the hand is more than welcome.
