QJo headsup

Unfortunately I couldn't get complete hand history data due to connection problems so I'll try to type this out the best that I can. I also just sat down on this hand and the Villian is a complete unknown, so no reads. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Everyone folds to Villian who limps and the rest fold to me. I check.

With a gutshot, top pair, and a weak bd flush, I hoped to play this somewhat aggressively, but the Villian raised so I wasn't sure about being WA/WB. Without any reads I'm probably giving him credit for a Qx, flush draw, or even already made straight.

I hoped to check-raise here hoping to protect my queen high, but with the call I'm starting to possibly think flush but more likely he still has Qx and we're going to see a showdown.

Now, this river card is something I was hoping I wouldn't have to see, but I still bet it. Should I have folded to his raise, or should I have even bet this river? I still think there's some chance that my medium kicker is good because this unknown limped preflop but I'm definitely beat to a flush. How did I play the other streets?

Edit: By the way, have people been having connection problems on Empire? I have a stable connection but I have trouble keeping it up on only Empire.
