Bloating the pot with a pair which will see overcards the majority of the time, playing out of position against a tricky opponent. These are not things I like to do.
Anyway, your river bet looks pretty weak. If you had just rivered a set of Aces, would you bet bigger? If you just made two-pair, would you bet bigger? Your opponent is going to think you would. Most of the time your opponent just folds if he can't beat TT here but on the occasions that he raises you could either be getting bluffed because you look weak or you could end up levelling yourself into making a bad call, simply because you know you look weak. Blocker bets against tough opponents are generally to be avoided.
If you think he's calling you down with a flush draw, then check-call the river to allow him to bluff. Bear in mind, though, that alot of those missed draws are going to be Ace-high. Sometimes he just checks behind with an 8 but I doubt he calls a value-bet with that too often anyway.
