Default 5.5$ AJs in LP. Much action on turn

Hello,

I go on playing 5.5. This time i was busted out during the first hour. Here is the key hand. Before this one i played only one hand, stealing blinds on the button.

Sorry, I don't remember all the stacks sizes, but they were about t1500-1700 except button, who had 2800:

Blinds: 25/50

UTG (t1600)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1700)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1600)
Hero (t1450)
CO (t1700)
Button (t2800)
SB (t1600)
BB (t1600)

Preflop: Hero is LP with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls 50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls 50, MP3 calls 50, Hero calls 50, CO folds, <font color="red">Button raises 100</font>, SB folds, BB calls 50, UTG+1 calls 50, MP2 calls 50, MP3 calls 50, Hero calls 50

I made this PF call with the intention to play for flush beside the fact that pot odds were very attractive.

Flop:(t550) 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

Here i understood, that i made a huge mistake by non-betting such a nice flop for me with so many people in the pot. I think i should have bet ~350. Right?

Turn:(t550) T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets 350, MP3 calls 350, Hero calls 350, <font color="red">Button raises 700</font>, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls 350, MP3 calls 350, hero calls 350.

Actually, i was really confused what to do, but pot odds encouraged for calling. Was a mistake here?

River:(t3350) K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Hero checks, <font color="red">Button bets 2000 (all in)</font>, <font color="red">MP2 calls 700 (all in)</font>, MP3 folds, Hero folds.

I folded on river, because i couldn't imagine which hand i beat and didn't want to waste the rest part of my chips.

Pf and flop look fine. Id rather c/r the field on the flop if i can (which you were trying to do i assume) rather then bet and have button clear the field.

Not much you can do on the turn, you are getting the right price + great implied odds.

River= Standard
