Long Time No Post : AJo on the Button

If you are intending to fold to a three bet with that much money in the pot, then why not simply call on the river?

this doesn't make any sense. there are times when raising is +EV against a hand range when called, but a 3-bet indicates you are crushed and should fold. this may or may not be one of these times, but your logic is very bad.

Also, a raise for value here on the turn would have been nice. I like you putting him on 89, but if that's your read, then why not make him pay to find his 14 outer?

nobody puts an opponent squarely on 98 by the turn - that is truly terrible. It is a possible worse hand, as is any ace, ten, some sevens and PPs, or random stuff like QJ. The vast majority of these worse hands fold immediately to the turn raise, whereas calling the turn and raising the river extracts at least an extra bet from weaker hands that value bet and and the same # from busted draws that bluff.
