Default Line Costs Me The Pot or Can\'t Win?

6 max 10-20. I have 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in BB. Folded to unknown MP who raises (seems reasonable). I'm the only caller and we see a flop of 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I check, he bets, I raise and he calls. Turn is the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] giving me more outs. I bet, he calls. River is the 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet, he calls. He shows JJ and I puke.

Ok, so...thoughts are I could checkraise the turn but then again he checks behind and pays off with a hand like this most likely and if he is strong, I may get 3-bet and charge myself to hit. If I donk the turn, maybe he folds this, but he could also think I picked up a flush draw and just call and call again.

So, is there anyway I can play this better than I did? What's a better alternative line? Or does it not really matter?

Thanks,
Jeff
