After the UTG re-raised me from first position I was going to cap but decided the check out the flop first. The player was relatively new to the table and I had not played in a hand with him yet. With his re-raise I figuired he had AA, AK(rather unlikely) QQ or JJ.

I capped the flop looking to define my hand but since the flop was powerful for any high pair, I could not rule out many hands except 2 high cards. So I conclude he has AA, QQ or JJ.

Turn is a blank and he checks to me so I bet. His call got me very confused. I had figuired that I probably had him beat, since he would most likely raise after the capping of the flop.

The river is another blank. Should I have checked behind him or is this a good value bet.

He showed down AA.

Personally the only part I do not like about my play is on the flop. Capping may not have been incredibly wise, as I had a strong notion that he had AA, but not strong enough to lay the kings down. On the turn and river I think my bets are good, he could be calling down with QQ, JJ or weaker.

So was I overly aggressive with my kings which was why he didn't play his aces strong, or did I just get somewhat unlucky to run into aces instead of an underpair to my kings.

Thoughts please.

Please use the converter. It's really hard to read in the raw format like that, and it's not nice to post names.
