I need your help!!! For the past month I just can't seem to get ahead. I thought I'd post a hand and take you through my thought process. Hands like this have just been killing me lately.

Preflop: Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. UTG+1 posts a blind of $3.
UTG folds, UTG+1 (poster) checks, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.
The blinds in this hand are seeing almost every flop even for a raise. Since I didn't think I was going to get anyone to fold I figured I would see the flop before I put more money in. Normally I would raise here but I've been losing a lot of money with AJ lately and I'm starting to wonder if I'm overplaying it.
Flop: (5 SB) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.
Flopped a gut shot but 2 spades are on the board. I figure I should see the turn for one small bet, but then it's raised. That raise just screams flush draw or set to me. Now I figure that my 4 queen outs just turned into 3 queen outs. Should I have folded here?
Turn: (6.50 BB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero folds.
I've got to fold here, and it's not even close. Correct?
River: (9.50 BB) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP1 folds, BB calls.
Final Pot: 13.50 BB
