What do you think of this hand and my overall play? Is a limp preflop the right move? Is calling flop and turn correct? Is the river a fold?

Raising preflop is fine too. Raise the turn.

You need to raise this hand from the button. QJs goes way up in value when you have it on the button. You really need to be raising this hand most of the time from the button. And not a pussy raise either, raise $2-2.50.

As played, I would have raised the flop to $4.

I feel the rest of the hand is entirely read dependent. Is UTG the type of player that would call with Axs from UTG? What type of player is the SB? Its really difficult to make a correct decision here without a read.

I am rasing this PF almost 100% of the time. Also, def raise the turn.

River action is scary though...I think a fold is correct here (esp since we are not closing action).
