Default 78s on the button

The guy I played this hand against had just sat down, so I didn't have any reads at the time.
I'm really undecided on how I should have played this hand. I felt like I was getting too good odds to fold before the river, and on the river I felt like there wasn't a 1/3 chance I was good. River is the only street I'm really confident on (besides preflop, preflop seems perfect to me).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (7 handed) converter
Hero ($211.2)
MP1 ($100)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1. MP1 posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls $6.

Flop: ($19) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.

Turn: ($39) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $20</font>, Hero calls $20.

River: ($79) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 goes all in for $62, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $79

Sorry if this hand is boring/standard, but I'm interested in possible alternative lines.
