You can't a lot of limpers see the flop with a hand like pocket jacks, tens, queens. You need to raise it up to .50. Then I would have bet about a dollar on the flop there. In this case I would have re-raised the flop, then slowed down on the turn and river like you did...ending up folding on the river.

Limping this and playing for set value is OK. Raising preflop is probably preferred. Raising to $0.50 is nothing with 3 limpers already in, so you need to make it normal PFR + 1 BB per limper. So that would be $0.80? Hand would be much easier to play if you PFR.

Your play in the hand is fairly weak/tight. Although, with a straight and a flush flopped as possibles, I can understand a little bit. If it were one or the other as the only possibles, you need to play it more aggressively for sure.

As played, I'm not sure I fold on the end. The Ace is really a blank, as a bare Q already made a straight back on the turn. You need to be good here 60% of the time on the end to make the call profitable. and I think it's close. Playing it the way you did up to the river, it's probably an OK fold.

I think that 6-handed on the button, this is an easy pre-flop raise. On the flop, you really have to raise to protect your hand. This isn't a board where you want to play middle set multi-way.
