These are fun - wish I didn't have to go to work.

All looks fine to me although that 3 bet looks like you are screwed with a straight or Ace better kicker or 2 pair.

I think the turn bet is ok, but I'd consider checking and hoping that he checks behind.

You have to call the river three-bet, but I think that you will often be shown A6o or similar for two pair.

I don’t know about the turn bet. I mean what can you put him on when he limps from early position? Off course this is hard if he is a fish but you don’t know that and the pot is not that big. You miss the flop totally but it is pretty ragged (in view of an early limper) so a steal bet is ok but on the turn when he calls I would put him on a low pair or some low Broadway suited. Even if you do hit your jack on the turn he has a lot of potential redraws so in this small pot I would not go to war whit AJs whit an early limper.
