Sorry for this hasty post. I've posted it three times with my thoughts but keep losing it. I'm getting frustrated but want some input.

Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (6 handed) link

Flop: (8.00 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, MP calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, MP calls, CO caps, Hero calls, MP calls.

Turn: (10.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

River: (18.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 22.50 BB.

Quick run down. Raiser slow played AA and KK twice. Doesn't seem to raise his big hands preflop. Called AQ in early position but didn't raise. The MP caller is a donkey. The best player at the table (better than me, since this is my first short handed limit game) has already folded.

Do I not raise as much? Should I have check/called? I really put him on AK. I was almost positive. At the end though I thought he could have TT. AT is not a possibility to me. Thoughts on my betting is appreciated. Should I have slowed down on the river, before? Like I said, read was almost positive about AK, but TT scared me. Could I have put less into the pot and felt comfortable? Could I possibly fold the turn?
