First, limping AJo utg is a big mistake. Fold this 8-handed utg.

As played.. bet closer to pot on the turn, and on the river I would just check/call a small bet and fold to a large one.

Don't limp preflop. This is just asking for trouble. You have a weak kicker with a hand that'll get you in trouble. If an ace hits, you often feel forced to call down and lose to a better kicker.

Bet more on turn, like $3 or more. River just completed a lot of flush &amp; straight draws. I think your bet is good, assuming you are folding to raise. If you think you'd have trouble folding to raise here, I'd go with c/c.
