Firstly, I'm guessing I should of raised preflop?

I'm thinking my raise on the flop was ok (anyone?), but I can't decide what to do on the turn?

1. How should I play this hand now?
2. How should i of played the hand from the start?

Id call the turn. Your getting around 4-1 on your money. Your around 20% to win. A raise to $3-$4 also makes sense because if you dont put him on the straight and one of you Ks do fall, it would be hard to extract any more money.

raise on the flop is good

Raise preflop and you probably take the hand right there

I'd raise so I know where I am in the hand

a flat call here is rather passive seeing as the other player bet .25 on flop then .50 on turn (weak move that is often used with chip leaders)and then on the river you still have no idea where your at even if you 2pr.

A raise on the turn might give you a check down cause of your position on the river card.

personally I don't like the timid re-raise on the flop after limping with AJo (which I don't mind the limp move)

limping pre is pretty bad, raise flop is good, call turn decide river
