I think your bet sizing is too small after both the flop and the turn.

Preflop the pot is $3 (Let's assume the blinds both called here)

So your bet of $1.25 is too small.  I'd say something like $2 here would have been better (you want to let the hands you beat stick around but not give the drawing hands the right price to call if several people stick around).

After the flop betting the pot is $8 and your turn bet is only $2.  Way too small a bet here with 3 others still in the hand.  I like a bet to $6 or $7 here.  It's possible (depending on when the guy with AQ acted after your bet) that he actually had odds to draw to the gutshot (especially if he thinks his Ace is an out).  If he closes the action on the turn he's getting 7:1 on his money more than enough to stick around and see the river.

Moral of the story here is that you thought your hand was unbeatable and bet too small to try to keep everyone in the hand, unfortunately one of those hands you let stick around cheaply beat you on the end.  Learn from your mistakes.
