 A few hands from today that really had me thinking I might have made a bad move/laydown. Comments!!!

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($39.55)
SB ($27.35)
givememyleg ($27.15)
UTG ($24.65)
MP ($23.80)
CO ($70.95)

Preflop: givememyleg is BB with A, A.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, SB completes, givememyleg raises to $1.25, UTG calls $1, CO folds, SB folds.

Flop: ($3) 8, 5, J (2 players)
givememyleg bets $3, UTG calls $3.

Turn: ($9) T (2 players)
givememyleg bets $6, UTG raises to $20.4, givememyleg folds.

Final Pot: $19

I probably should have made it $1.75 or $2 preflop. This is UTG's second hand. He was multi tabling. The turn card didn't scare me, but his line makes me think maybe he smooth called a set on the flop? Maybe I was ahead and he had a hand like 9T and pushed his huge draw. I had no reads, thought about it for a long time and folded. Maybe I'm playing scared... I'm ahead of a decent amout of hands that would push on this board... Who thinks I was ahead/behind here?

River: ($5.60) A (2 players)
givememyleg checks, UTG bets $1.25, givememyleg calls $1.25.

Final Pot: $8.10

OK basically here I am faced with a situation where I can assume fairly positive that I am beat on the river. Yet I still call anyway. I guess there is still a chance I could have the best hand, but why hand besides the straight makes a bet like that? Granted, it is only $1.25, but still.. I am beat so why call. Does anyone fold here?

givememyleg checks, CO checks.

River: ($14.10) 8 (2 players)
givememyleg checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: $14.10

I am starting to notice I am betting pretty small on the flop in situations like this. Should I pot the flop? Maybe a $3-$4 bet would have gave me a better idea. CO is a solid multitabler. I actually moved from being on his right. He and I respect each other and I knew he was not raising me here with air. I had actually put him on 67 once he raised me... the turn and river seem terrible imo. How to play this better I ask you all.

Villian was pretty bad and made a lot of weak showdowns. Flopped the sucker straight, is it good enough to raise turn here? Just call? What then on the river if it comes X?
