NL10: AA weak(?) play + Mental game support please

Hi!

So about that mental problem. I have had a little 7 buy-in downswing in 4k hands and last 1k of hands has been break-even. I know that downswing isn't big and it wouldn't affect me if it would have been just bad beats. Maybe I'm too hard on myself because my own bad plays affects me too much. On that downswing I have been calling or raising all-in too easily with TPTK or overcards vs. fish and every time I have bumped to a turned straight or flopped 2pair or something..

But about this hand.. I wanted just to check that my downswing haven't affected me TOO much with these overpairs. The villain is quite aggressive (postflop) fish. 40 hand from him with stats of 38/0. Postflop aggression 60% (streets 40%/82/67%, OTR sample of 9) and usually betting 50% PSB. Only seen one hand OTR that was rivered straight and he bet 75% PSB.

$0.05/$0.10 Blinds No Limit Holdem -
Table Ica 6 Max (Real Money)
Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players : 6

Dealt to HERO [ Ah, As ]
UTG folds

So pretty std preflop. Maybe could have had raised a bit bigger like to 4,5-5bb.

* Dealing flop * [ 4s, 6h, Qc ] [Pot: $0.80]
VILLAIN bets [$0.40]
HERO calls [$0.40]

Dry flop so hoped that he has Qx and I was planning to get aggressive OTT. Thought that there wont be many bad cards for me. Now when I think about it maybe I should just raise straightforward vs. fish and hope that he will call with TP and try to commit him to the pot OTT. If I raise here and he comes over the top I think I'm pretty committed to call vs. fish though that I block TPTK, right? He ether has TP with good/weak kicker or a set..

* Dealing turn * [ 2h ] [Pot: $1.60]
VILLAIN bets [$0.40]
HERO raises [$2]
VILLAIN calls [$1.60]

Didn't like his sizing OTT. Hoped that he would have bet the at least the same 50% PSB so I could sized my raise bigger. I hoped that he would think my big raise here is a bluff (induced by his small bet) and he would peel with Qx and then check river. He called quite quickly. And I had a thought in the back of my mind that is he slowing with a set? (small bet+big call) At this point I planned to value shove OTR if checked to on almost any river card. Thought that K would be the least favorite card to come.

* Dealing river * [ Jh ] [Pot: $5.60]
SB bets all-in [$3.27]
HERO folds

And then OTR he did this lightning fast shove.. damn. If the pot have had been like $1 bigger I think I would have cry called this. But he never has here Qx (no suited hearts)? I would put my money on a 44/66 or Qhxh..

What are your thoughts about this play?
