With hands like this, I'm going to jam the pot. Considering there was no preflop raise, the pot is still pretty small though. In that case, I would be just a bit more likely to just call the flop, because there's really not that much out there to win. I think the way you played it is acceptable. However, the problem is once you get to the river, you're facing a big bet relative to your stack without really knowing where you are in the hand. I just like to save myself some tough decisions by raising the flop.
