Here's what I don't like about the hand:

What card were you hoping for on the turn that made you call the flop?

I mean, you call the flop bet, which means that you either think you have the best hand, or you think you can improve to the best hand. But then you fold when a blank hits?

With position, like you had, I would have raised the turn. This would have had one of three effects:

1. If you're up against another ace, they would have called, and checked to you on the river. Here you can either bet again (maybe A8 would even fold!) or check it down. Important: This would cost you as many bets as just calling down would.
2. Anyone with a jack will reraise you, and you can safely fold. The cost is still as many bets as calling down.
3. You charge someone with a worse hand than yours money for their draw.

So, either raise on the turn (or on the flop!), or call down, or fold on the flop - but don't call flop, fold turn. That just doesn't make any sense.

Interesting hand, though. :)
