Slow down on the river?

UTG has gotten pretty LAG cuz she's on a rush, but she's a chump. BB just sat down, but seems pretty TAGish.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Pretty standard.

Flop: (5 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG raises, CO folds, Hero 3-bets, SB folds, BB caps, UTG calls, Hero calls.

What do you think he's holding? I figured he might have a solid Q, like KQ or AQ, or maybe 33. He could also have a flush draw and figures he might as well cap it.

Turn: (8.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, UTG calls, Hero caps, BB calls, UTG calls.

Now the flush draw seems a little less likely. I'm really figuring 33 or AQ, though he'd be overplaying his hand from the flop on in my opinion.

River: (20.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG folds, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, BB calls.
Final Pot: 28.50 BB
Ugh.. could he really have AQ? Should I just call the reraise, or will my hand be good enough of the time to justfiy capping?

results in white:

Hero -[ 4s 4h ]
BB - [ Ac Qh ]

Given a TAGish opponent read, and so much action on every street calling on the river after the 3-bet here isn't a bad idea. He seems to have kept improving his hand and the other player stuck in between just adds to this case.
