i bet both the turn and the river.

Why would you bet the river? I don't see many better hands folding or worse hands calling.

AQ, AJ, AT all call here, as well as low suited unpaired aces. however, since this TAG open limped i am more wary.

I think it is very unlikely that this villain is open limping UTG with any hand that has an Ace in it. Also, I would almost never bet this turn, checking on the turn gives you a free card when you are behind and induces a river bluff when you are ahead.

right, i modified my original statement saying that against this guy i dont bet the river.

however, i dont like checking this turn. the board is too ragged and the chances are too good that your hand is best here, and i dont want to have a different turn line on times when i miss vs. times when i hit. it becomes too easily exploitable by LAGs/TAGs.
