Is this as bad as I think it is?

I really played this one weird. My only strong read is that CO is pretty loose aggressive, and none of the players at the table seemed very strong. Please give me your recommended line.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (10.40 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

I bet out when I raise pre-flop pretty much every single time, but I know there are times not to. I figured that with 4 others at this flop, my hand probably wasn't best at the moment so I'd rather see what happens instead of betting and probably getting raised.

Turn: (5.20 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, CO calls, Button calls, BB calls.

So since no one bet, on the turn I guess I may have the best hand now. Even if I don't, I figure I have some overcard partial outs and the straight draw, so I bet. This was retarded, wasn't it?

River: (10.20 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Button folds, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP1 folds, CO folds, BB calls.

Now I hit my top pair. I may be beat, but I felt like I was good for some reason.

Final Pot: 15.20 BB

Please bash me as you will.
