Default Not sure how I should have played this hand

$50+5 MTT on Party. Blinds at 75/150.
I have T3905 (2nd biggest stack at the table) before posting the BB and I'm dealt JcJs.
Everyone folds to an MP player with T3107, who minraises to 300.
Everyone folds to me. I just call.
Flop is Ad Qd Ts.
I check, MP bets 250 into the 675 pot. It looks to me like a flush/straight draw bet, so I raise 750 to 1000. He calls the 750.
The turn is 8c and I bet 2000 (effectively putting him all-in). He folds.

So, several questions:
Too timid preflop?
Too agressive on the flop?
Too reckless on the turn?

I was going by instinct and I just really have no idea whether I played this hand really well or atrociously or somewhere in between. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,
'mrzarembsky'

I am surprised that you raised $750 holding what could be third pair. And then betting $2000 on the turn, that takes some great instincts or some serious courage. If you are an aggressive player, and had a decent read on your opponent, than you played the hand well. A check raise, and a strong bet on the turn; particularly if your opponent had a queen. I am a tighter player, so I think your bets were extremely aggressive, considering JJ is so vulnerable. Well played, your opponent may have very well lay down the best hand.
