Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Flop: (10.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Figured a raise here would allow an underpair to get out too easy plus I don't have much equity against his range anyway.

Same story.

River: (8.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB

On the river, JJ pulls ahead and I can't see any hand I beat betting all 3 streets enough to make this a call.

Anyone play if differently? Am I giving a relative unknown too much credit?

I think I'd call against an unknown and throw something heavy if he spiked his J out. You can't really rule out AQ or something weird like AJd or a very overplayed underpair.
