The flop was really really bad by me, right?

The flop isn't bad. I'd rather you raise though, considering that 2 Q's, 3 non-diamond 10's, and 9 diamonds are your outs. You're almost 50/50 to win the hand after the flop, so a raise is the best option. As played, the turn bet was fine. But on the river I'd rather check/call than push because the case 10 is a definate possiblity.

I raise or fold AQo UTG preflop. The only hands that are limpable are hands that do well multiway, like pairs and suited connectors. As played I think all streets are OK. Betting out on the flop may have been a good move.
