Check preflop? Where do I slow down?

I recently switched from Prima .25/.5, where people very often call a preflop-raiser down and then fold to a river bet. I had a couple of hands like this one last night and I'm thinking I'm just betting my opponents' hands for them.

After betting the flop and still being up against 3 opponents on the turn I think this is a check/fold.

Your hand is very unlikely the best here and you're not going to pick this pot up with a bluff often enough.

EDIT: Forget to mention do not check preflop. Raise AQo in an unraised pot from any position.

Check/call or check/fold the turn, depending on the action.

Your river bet has very little value. A better hand is never folding, and a worse hand is probably never calling.
