I dont think you done anything wrong here and i would have played the hand the same probably its just the luck of the draw i guess. We have all lost with AA at one time or another and although its frustarting im sure you will make more from holding AA than you will losing with it. Unlucky anyways i hope you have better luck next time.

Usually when i have very strong pocket pairs I raise, on flop if i get reraised then I go all-in, i don't care about slow playing, it just gotten into me, so now when someone reraises i go all in on flop so that weaker pairs will fold and give you much higher winning percentage.

True that you have to play strong specially the weak players or loose ones, but if youre against a solid player then slow play is a must or you will never see his/hers chips in your stack. But weak players and calling stations, they call everything unless it is allin and even allin if its not most of their stack.
Q 
turn K 
river 10 
my luck was gone down too ab 8K a few hands later pocket Qs and i was raised 1500 soo i call flop 5 7 j he bets another 1500 down too ab 6,5K i went all in he called he shows j 9 soo the turn 9 river 2
