Villian is 20/4.3

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($123.35)
SB ($45.50)
BB ($18.95)
UTG ($43.25)
MP ($35.25)
CO ($30.10)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls $0.50, MP raises to $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $6, 2 folds, UTG calls $5.50, MP folds.

 I wanted to isolate the raiser (wich was 40/20), but instead got the UTG limper.. 

Flop: ($14.75) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players)
UTG bets $8, Hero raises to $24, UTG folds.

 Here I felt his bet was a way to keep the pot down, or to test the strengt of my raise. I may have bet to much here, but I couldnt just call him. 

Final Pot: $46.75

Did I play this all wrong?

You're bet is not even truly a pot-sized-raised. a PSR would have been to 38 (8 to match + 30). His bet was merely a c-bet that folded to aggression. I predict he would have folded a minraise.

I believe that on THIS dry of a board you can call down once, and try betting the turn once the pot has some significance. The texture of this flop is about as dry as it can possibly be, there is nothing much that calls your raise to fear.

This is a time when I would slow down with aces and c/r turn. You have position so use it and the board isn't dangerous. He could limp with JT, QJ, or KJ or a small/mid PP (I've seen plenty of villains limp TT). If you call flop, the pot is now $30 and villain will have $30 behind on turn. So if he makes any non donk bet on the turn and you RR AI he will have to call with anything.

You definitely didn't play it all wrong IMO, bc slowplaying aces can get you stacked easily. However on this flop there's nothing to worry about.

Call flop.

If he bets on the turn you are all in.

If he checks, you bet 3/4 pot.

I'd raise the flop ai. The pot is big enough. I'd be very happy to take it down with just a pair. If ur beat, ur going broke , regardless of call or raise.
