Is my betting ok? I can't decide if it's too aggressive or too weak (or ok). I'm putting him on AX. Afraid of AT/AQ/AK... without hitting that J on the river I would've folded to a bet or checked behind. How's that?

Raise more pre-flop... $1.25 is "standard". Flop bet is fine, but $2 is fine too. I check behind the turn, since there are no obvious draws and you only have TPGK. Without a read I think your river bet is fine. A couple bucks more would be fine too.

being that it is most likely that villian is a weak calling station, i change only the bet sizes.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

i'd raise it more preflop, to 1.25 or something. otherwise well played

I like the theme of feeding him small bets, but I think you can go a little bigger and still keep him in there.

4xBB and + 1xBB because the UTG limped?

Thanks the info. The villain had AQo.

4xBB and + 1xBB because the UTG limped?

Yeah, a good rule of thumb is 4xBB+1BB per limper. But it shouldn't be hard-and-fast. If you're playing at a table and regularly see three or four callers, you can increase it a bit. You can also increase it against players that call a lot of pre-flop raises and then fold to c-bets. There are times you can lower it (against shorties, or to encourage action from bad players when you know you can outplay them post-flop) but for the most par, esp. at these stakes, if you aren't getting many calls with 4xBB+1BB/limper you should find another table.
