Default Anyone play this differently?

BB is 10/5/1.3 after 85 hands
MP2 is 20/3/6 after 30 hands

Was about to cap the river, but then a thought came to me...he must have QJ with his flop raise intending to make us pay for our straight draws. I also thought about raising the turn, but after BB bets and MP2 raises, I couldn't imagine neither of them not having a made straight, which gives me 10 outs to the boat.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO (poster) checks, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, SB folds, BB calls, MP2 calls.

I'd probably raise pre-flop. I'd certainly 3-bet the turn. If they keep coming after you've capped the turn, then I'd play the river like you did.

I was thinking of raising pf, but then said f-it, this is the kind of hand that has to hit a set on the flop to win. I would have been happy to raise the turn if the BB checked and MP2 bet, and I would have capped it had he 3-bet, with or without the BB calling or raising. The fact that BB bet out the turn screamed a made straight, and I figured a call was ok even though I wasn't happy at all about the action to me on the turn.
