Default JTo in the BB

This is my first table, first deposit since September. I played very sloppy and I'm looking to correct that soon. I feel my first big mistake I made was calling the flop. Getting 5-1 with two weak offsuit cards, I should've folded.

This was the first orbit so I had no real reads on any player at this point other than they're very loose.

PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.05.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (10 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, CO folds, SB calls.

At this point I felt the pot was rather big, laying me 11:1, and I have middle pair with a back-door straight draw. There are no flush draws on the board, so I give myself 6.5 outs total. Should I discount this on the off chance I'm up against QQ or JJ?

I'm probably behind here, but with my raise, I force others to call 2-cold, and I can buy a free-card on the turn.

Turn: (9 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds.

The pot is laying me 10:1 and I have an open-ended straight draw as well as outs to 2-pair or better. I call with the intention of folding UI on the river.

River: (12 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls.

Final Pot: 14 BB
