Although I lost the pot, I feel like I played this right but I am not sure. Could anyone please let me know if they agree or disagree ? (I'm AV22773 btw)

Hi av389,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com! :welcome:,

I would suggest to raise bigger pre-flop.
I know that a lot of people recommend smaller from the button, but the purpose of that is to be able to call 3Bets.
With this hand you would 4Bet always, so go for it.

Also, raise bigger on the flop.

The rest I think is fine.

Let's see what others say though.

One other thing -- it is helpful to run your hand through a hand converter before posting it.
It makes it more humanly readable, so more humans will read it :coolface:
If you're using tracking software then you can see how to convert it here: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=1432568#post1432568
If not, then http://www.feralcowpoker.com/poker-hand-history-converter.php does a reasonable job.

While I'm here, be sure to check out the free money offers and bonus offers

All the best,
VS

The biggest mistake is the Cbet sizing on the flop I think. Especially on NL2 you can easy Cbet between 1/2 and 2/3 pot against a unknown for value and protection. Now you get in a situation you don't want with AA.
