Double x/r on a drawy board?!

Blinds: $0.02/$0.05 (5 Players) UTG: $12.39
CO: $5.42
BN: $4.82
SB: $2.72
BB: $5.00 (Hero)
Preflop ($0.07) Hero is BB with 8 9
UTG raises to $0.15, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.10
Flop ($0.32) 5 7 A
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.24, Hero raises to $0.68, UTG calls $0.44
Turn ($1.68) 5 7 A J
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.88, Hero raises to $4.17 and is all in
till this check I think its kinda standard.. flop is probably a mix play in theory.. having no showdown value and decent equity, decided to go for a raise OTF.
This card is not that good for us since AJ is definitely in his range.. and I do not x/raise on that flop with AJ somewhat often enough.. I felt like his Ax hands would bet here vs a check to protect himself and check back river. His sizing is also indicating much more linear range than polarized.. so that was the reason why I decided to jam. Trying to target Ax hands or whatever worse he could bet.
Betting myself would be also kinda committing since we have a ton of outs.. maybe betting like 1/4 to target everything except of Ax.. but its actually kinda hard to balance and doing it on a card which is not best for us does not seem that great to me. Also the fact that Ac is on the board makes our bluff slightly better.. balancing this with 55,77 sometimes, however, yeah I would rather do it on more dry board than this.

V: 25/15 (130) knowing that he is a reg, I took this line.. without that confidence I would just x/called or bet myself. Maybe given his stats AJo is not in his range all the time.
WtS: 22 (23) small sample, but probably a guy who on the river tend to have pretty strong range.
My decision to x/raise and not to x/call was mainly based on that sizing.. calling vs 2/3+.. because I do not want to x/raise as a bluff into a polarized range
