Were you afraid of someone playing KJ and hitting 2 pair on the turn? The flop bet seems fine because you have the A of hearts and the heart redraw if a heart comes on the turn, but when the blank hits the turn in the jack of clubs its time to take the pot down right there 1/2 the pot isnt the way to do it. You told the table you had junk, UTG+2 read you for having junk and took your pot away like he was suppose to.

very good....

I sympathize with you however, I also consistently lose my chips when i have a top pair and someone hits a set. Usually I end up calling there all in due to pot odds, unless they are a really deep stack.
