Why just call this flop? I'd stick in a healthy raise.

With the other caller and Villain's overbet on the flop, a "healthy raise" pot commits me when I'm WA/WB. Calling also gives me a chance to see what the other player in the hand is going to do without risking more chips. If LP raises, then I can safely and easily fold.

The other reason for calling is that my read on Villain is that he won't call a raise except when he has a 5 in this case (which could easily be in his hand range). I put him on either a 5 or a J, with a J being the most likely thing. When the A fell on the turn, my decision was whether or not he had anything as good as AJ. I decided that he didn't and called the turn...if he hadn't pushed the river, then I would have, but with my read, I liked letting him bet my hand for me.
