Any mistakes here? Would a bigger bet on the turn been a better line?

AA is a possibility. If UTG+2 had a vpip of like 2% I'd consider checking the turn. Otherwise push the turn. The pot's bigger than your stack.

I'd consider pushing the turn since villain is going to call anyway.

I don't think villain would have called a push with the ace on the board. In retrospect, I think I got more value out of this hand by NOT betting the turn hard. But, regardless, I think my turn bet should've been substantially bigger. As played, villain is getting 6:1 to call. I would've been kicking myself hard if he'd rivered a J.
