Open ended straight draw......

Flop is 8-9-J I had A-10 how would you play this hand? I bet out small and was raised, then called. Everyone checked 4th, and then my Q came out on river where I was beat by a K-10 for a higher straight. Any certain way you would play this? Big semi-bluff on 4th, or anything like that?

Pray for K on the river.

Don't draw to non-nut straights...or if you do hit em, don't bet em hard...

If you're going to semibluff I reraise the flop. Calling on the flop sucks not only because you're drawing to the non-nut straight (already pointed out by AZK) but because if you make your straight the board is going to be a 4-straight and no one is going to pay you off with a worse hand making your implied odds crap.
