Default How to play top-bottom two pair

I'm still learning NL. How was this played?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.01 BB (8 handed)

UTG+1 ($$2.76)
MP1 ($$2.30)
MP2 ($$3.12)
Hero ($$1.91)
Button ($$2.65)
SB ($$9.87)
BB ($$1.20)
UTG ($$1.03)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 raises to $0.04, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero calls $0.04, Button calls $0.04, SB calls $0.03, BB folds, UTG calls $0.02.

I figure I have a drawing hand here, so I call the min-raise.

Flop: ($0.22) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $0.12, Button raises to $0.24, SB folds, UTG calls $0.24, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls $0.12.

Button is a fairly straight forward player. Since the Button didn't riase PF, I couldn't put him on a made set here. So, I figured him for a pair of A's or Q's, and/or a gut-show straight draw.

Turn: ($0.94) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.15, Button raises to $0.86, UTG folds, Hero calls $0.71.

Maybe a weak bet here on my part. I thought his large raise was a semi-bluff on a flush draw with his A's and Q's.

River: ($2.66) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button bets $0.44, Hero raises to $0.77, Button calls $0.33.

I thought he missed his flush and straight draw since he didn't try to put me all in. Figuring his bet was a bluff, I pushed on the reraise.

Final Pot: $4.20

Total pot $4.20

Results:
<font color="white"> shark0613: shows [Ac Tc] (two pair, Aces and Tens)
Button: shows [Ah Qs] (two pair, Aces and Queens)
Button collected $4 from pot </font>

Please help.
