I feel like I really butchered this hand on the turn and river. I reckon I should have raised turn and bet more on the river. What do you put villains on and how much do you raise/bet on turn/river?

Also, is flat calling this flop a good idea? I've been doing it a bit more recently for deception and to let the villain bet again. Do you like it in this spot?

I raise the flop for value bc on a non drawy board this is Ax a lot. As played def raise the turn, you have top 2 and only lose to 222 or 666, you wanna play for stacks here on this board IMO. I think you can bet more on the river too as played, I'd make it like $17 and watch them make the crying call with AT/AJ.
