2/4 B&M hand...

[DZgroundhog]

This was the first hand I saw that night and I didn't recognize anybody at the table so I had zero reads.

B&M $2/$4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
EP1 calls, EP2 calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="red">Hero raises </font>, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls, EP1 calls, EP2 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (12 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
BB checks, EP1 checks, EP2 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, BB calls, EP1 folds, EP2 calls, MP2 calls.

Had somebody led out at me, would it have been a good idea to wait for a safe turn card to raise? I probably would have fired out a flop raise to drive out any lone K or Q, but I'm not sure if that would have been the right play.

Turn: (8.5 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB checks, EP2 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets</font>, <font color="red">CO raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="red">EP2 3-bets</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="red"> Hero caps</font>, CO calls, EP2 calls.

Correct to cap? I was a bit worried that somebody had flopped a straight or maybe even a set (raising preflop is looked down upon by the old guys...I get a lot of dirty looks...I've had sessions where I'll be the only PF raiser in three hours and AA will be shown down four times by other players) and I definitely thought AT and A2 were possibilities.
