Slow down to soon with AA?

Villian is loose (VPiP 53%, PFR 6.3%, over 70 hands). Do I slow down to soon? Any one just call the raise and check/raise the turn? That's actually what I use to do and I think it's a great strategy. Any comments welcome.

I think you slowed down way too soon.

Raise the turn.

Nice river.

You have to slow down after he caps the flop. He's clearly saying he can beat to pair.

would he really cap the flop against the pf agressor and bet the turn again with a hand you can beat? I think your line is fine.

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear. I was quite sure I made the right play, but the result made me thinking (not that it should). He held QJo and got a note in my book.

What about the flop. Bet/call, check/raise the turn to make my opponents uncomfortable when I only hold overs is the right way to go, no?
