NL SB with AKs. Too passive?

Wondering if this line is okay sometimes. It's a rush game and I have no reads on these players (have notes on some players but they folded). Seems I may have been too passive early but when I started betting the villain went passive.

Rush .05/.10
Seat 1: mikekelley13 ($17.95)
Seat 2: HERO ($22.70)
Seat 3: IcanoutfishU ($5.24)
Seat 4: mkhi68 ($14.76)
Seat 5: MyleFNutt ($9.95)
Seat 6: mdjm0000 ($9.80)
Seat 7: Stingg ($10)
Seat 8: JonnyRags ($19.52)
Seat 9: p0gy0 ($7.45)
HERO posts the small blind of $0.05
IcanoutfishU posts the big blind of $0.10
The button is in seat #1
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to HERO [Ad Kd]
mkhi68 raises to $0.30
MyleFNutt folds
mdjm0000 folds
Stingg has 15 seconds left to act
Stingg folds
JonnyRags folds
p0gy0 folds
mikekelley13 folds
HERO calls $0.25 ------>>>> Should I have popped this up?
IcanoutfishU has 15 seconds left to act
IcanoutfishU calls $0.20
*** FLOP *** [Th As 3s]
HERO bets $0.60 -------->>>>>>2/3 pot. too small/big?
IcanoutfishU folds
mkhi68 raises to $1.20
o Ampallang o calls $0.60 ----->>>>3 bet here? AT/TT don't seem likely
*** TURN *** [Th As 3s] [9d] due to min raise.
o Ampallang o bets $1.60
mkhi68 calls $1.60
*** RIVER *** [Th As 3s 9d] [7c]
o Ampallang o bets $3.20
mkhi68 calls $3.20
*** SHOW DOWN ***
o Ampallang o shows [Ad Kd] a pair of Aces


summary in white below. just highlight it to see the result
mkhi68 mucks
o Ampallang o wins the pot ($12.04) with a pair of Aces
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $12.90 | Rake $0.86
Board: [Th As 3s 9d 7c]
Seat 1: mikekelley13 (button) didn't bet (folded)
Seat 2: o Ampallang o (small blind) showed [Ad Kd] and won ($12.04) with a pair of Aces
Seat 3: IcanoutfishU (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 4: mkhi68 mucked [Qc Ac] - a pair of Aces
Seat 5: MyleFNutt didn't bet (folded)
Seat 6: mdjm0000 didn't bet (folded)
Seat 7: Stingg didn't bet (folded)
Seat 8: JonnyRags didn't bet (folded)
Seat 9: p0gy0 didn't bet (folded)


I think if the villain had pressed I might have been in a tight spot.

that line is ok...

I probably woulda came over the top on the flop.. if he's on a draw, make him pay to see turn. If he hits, reavaluate. if he misses, you gotta be thinking you are in the lead heading to the river.

nh.

3bet pre
3bet flop
check/call river
there's no point in smooth calling flop and betting out on the turn again. It's a very new player play, and most pros would exploit this. If you think you were best on the flop you gotta bet. If you don't think you're best on the flop, you're definetely not good on the turn so you gotta check. This is a good move to make ONLY if you have a powerhouse hand (set+)

that'd be my play anyway.

This is pretty much what I thought on reviewing the hand. By letting it run out this way I'm also setting myself up for a big reraise from any-two-cards that I really can't call.
