UTG: $20.48 (205 bb)
MP: $10.92 (109 bb)
CO: $10.00 (100 bb)
BU: $10.39 (104 bb)
SB (Hero): $9.25 (93 bb)
BB: $3.71 (37 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15) Hero is SB with A J
1 fold, MP raises to $0.25, 2 players fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.60, 1 fold, MP calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.30) T Q Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.83, MP calls $0.83

Turn: ($2.96) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.11, MP raises to $9.14, Hero calls $5.71 (all-in)

First River:
($18.60) J (2 players, 1 all-in)

Second River: ($18.60) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $18.60 (Rake: $0.93)

First Showdown: Board: T Q Q 9 J

MP shows Q A
SB (Hero) shows A J
MP wins $8.84

Second Showdown: Board: T Q Q 9 4

MP shows Q A
SB (Hero) shows A J
MP wins $8.83

Should have I taken a more passive line on the turn and just checked? This would have prevented the shove from Villain. After the shove, I felt I had no choice but to call, as there were many draws he could have been bluffing with and I had the gutshot to the best straight on the river.

Checking on this spot is better unless the turn is another diamond. A gunshot is a poor draw to put all the chips on the middle.

Preflop
Your 3-bet is far to small. You go less than 2,5X, which price him in to call in position with his entire range. So all, this does, is massage the pot larger, when you are out of position with a hand, which is somewhat tough to play postflop. Either go 4X ($1,0) or just call and see a cheap flop. If you use a HUD, and he is nitty, you could even just fold here. AJ is not exactly a monster, and you have the worst seat.

Flop
Now you are betting to much. Both 3-bet pots and paired boards generally call for small bet sizing on the flop.

Turn
You did pick up 4 more outs to a straight, which is normally a good situation to continue. However in this particular situation, because you went so big on the flop, you need to ask yourself, what he called you with on the flop, that is going to fold now? If he had a small pair like 22-88, he likely folded it already on the flop. So you are trying to get him off specifically AT or KT, which is a pretty thin range to target. You also dont want to get raised, so I would check and hope, he check behind or give you a price, you can call.

As played its a snap fold, when he jam. You are not getting the odds to draw, and you could be drawing dead already. You say, there are many draws, he could be bluffing with. But you have shown a ton of strength, and the board is paired, so if he is on a draw, he is more likely to consider folding rather than jamming. Moreover KJ is already a straight, and if he is turning hands like J9 or JT into a bluff, then you are actually losing to those bluffs. And you block AX of diamonds, which would be his most logical and common draw other than JX.

And finally you hold Ad in your hand, so he cant have the frontdoor nut flushdraw.

A brief overview u should take a passive line

Betting is worst to checking
