Turn i decide to just call. If i raise i don't think i could call a 3b all in as his range would have me crushed. Also if i raise i feel i'd fold out a lot of his range that we want to call such as AK AQ.
River i fold as i have no info and this is an extremely strong line that i feel is underbluffed.
Another part of me says stop thinking and call you duggy you have an underepped 2 pair and if your beat your beat.
Ideas please

As the pre-flop aggressor I think a flop CBet would be very helpful.
There are a lot of worse hands that can call, and even if better hands call, you still have outs.
I don't think that top pair is strong enough to slowplay

If nothing else, it gives you the authority to CBet the turn.
Checking the flop gives opponent the opportunity to take the initiative away -- and does so to good effect

I want to hear what the real experts think though -- I'm no hold'em expert.
I especially want to hear from people who might think that raising the turn is wise.

Flop is a check. Hand is worth 2 streets max + we have backdoor hearts and straight draw outs. backdoor equity protects our ace. Meaning we can incorporate this specific hand into our checking back range, to protect our flop checking back range.
Betting isn't bad though.

I have fixed the picture for you.

You could also just call pre-flop in position with AJo. Now you are changing your hand in to a bluff against the UTG open.

I think you're hand needs protection against draws on the flop and that's why I would Cbet.

Turn seems standard and on the river it's close between calling or folding. You beat some missed draws, but read less I wouldn't mind the fold.

AJo vs utg on Co preflop is a loose 3bet. Standard would be AQo+ 3bet. I think thats what solvers would suggest im not sure.

Anyway otf we have the range advantage and a hand that is not that strong, so i would cbet here. I think cbet would be standard, you loosing too much value against worse hands here, and the hand just plays better that way. Including some checkbacks with stronger hands here or sometimes AJo. Mostly betting the AJo.

On the turn you have a call and on the river its a fold. You beat JT and thats it.

Flop I would C-bet + all types of suited broadways you don’t want to just give a free card to by checking behind. Villain could very well have KQs here on the turn which is why I would have bet the flop , also hard to know where your at when you check behind he can barrel anything if he thinks your weak so now its hard to give him only nut range although it looks strong.
