Default NL10: JJ, line-check

This was the last hand of the session, and I had already decided to leave the table before the hand even begun. Villain is one of the two thinking players, who hasn't called that much but has not shown down much hands either.

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

CO ($2.75)
Button ($4.85)
<font color="#C00000">SB ($5.70)</font>
BB ($6.05)
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($12.80)</font>
UTG+1 ($13.70)
MP1 ($12)
MP2 ($4.50)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $0.50, SB calls $0.45, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

<font color="blue">In hindsight, I should have raised bigger, since I was badly OOP. Maybe $0.50 or even $0.60. However, the table had been pretty nitty and very few hands went past flop.</font>

Flop: ($2.10) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.3</font>, MP1 folds, Button folds, SB calls $1.30.

<font color="blue">No ace, and no king. Most of the common calling hands have therefore missed. I figured my jacks were either good or really badly behind, and if I was still ahead, I definitely didn't want any random draws to chase me. SB calling here was a bit odd, and I suspected he might have had a suited queen, AQ or a small pocket pair.</font>

Turn: ($4.70) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $4</font>, SB calls $3.90 (All-In).

<font color="blue">At this point I figured I'm pretty much committed. I really can't find a check/fold line here and only AQ or a better would be likely to call. Since SB has less than the pot left, any reasonable bet commits me into the pot and if villain has a suited queen or smaller pair, I should have enough FE here. So I might as well shove and drive out the suited queens.</font>

I think I played that hand rather badly, but exactly where (and how often) did I make a misstep? Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
