$1.10 NL HE Turbo: M=7 UTG limper, I have QJo in BB, hit TP on flop

Reviewing this hand I'm suprised I didn't bet the flop. I must have been concerned the UTG limped was slow playing a monster. Anyway, opinions?

As you said, bet this flop both to protect your hand and for information. Since the flop was checked, we have no idea whether the ace hit him or not. When the ace hits, we can still probably call turn as long as the bet is not too big. If a K or another J hits, we're golden, and another ace would also make our hand look better. A Q may seem good, but then we have to worry about him having a K....either way, you played it fine except for not betting the flop. I would expect villain to show up with a suited weak ace alot here.
