Preflop: Is this a raise? With that many limpers and A2s i think i should have raised at least to build the pot a little.
Flop: i should have raised here, right?, i dont know what was i thinking.
Turn: bet the pot?
Comments?

Take my comments with a grain of salt, as I am just learning this game as well.
Pot raise that flop. You have a 2nd nut but vulnerable high, but you have a low backup. It also changes the dynamics of the hand, and will likely make another naked A2 think twice about sticking around. If your high holds up then you want the other lows to chase, but your high is vulnerable. Raising it now may let you avoid getting quartered for the low if your high gets cracked.
Shove it all in on that turn.
Curse that river, as you likely got sucked out on.
Hey, no one said this was easy.
