Should I have run away?

[DeadWallet]

Chasing a straight that didn't come, I really didn't think that the jacks would hold up (I thought the villain was screaming big pair), but Ive been trying not to see monsters everywhere. What do you think?

I probably would have raised the turn here as it's entirely possible (and statistically more likely) that UTG+2 is betting overcards rather than a big pocket pair. If he 3-bets you, I'd call it down. If he just calls, I'm not sure if I would bet out on the river if a blank hits or just check/call.
