Default Top pair in multiway unraised pot...too aggressive?

Anything you guys see that I could have done differently about this hand please let me know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

MP2: $9.75
CO: $5.80
BTN: $27.05

Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8 Players)
Hero calls $0.25, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25, 2 folds, SB calls $0.15, BB checks

Flop: ($1.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 Players)

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.
