Default NL10: Set against a possible straight

Villain is 30/0/2 (only 10 hands, but anyway)

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $8.62
Hero (BB): $10.23
UTG: $9.73
CO: $9.65
BTN: $2.12

Preflop: Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 Players)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $0.30</font>, 2 folds, SB calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.90) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $0.40</font>, SB calls $0.40, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, UTG folds, SB calls $1.60

Turn: ($5.30) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets all-in for $6.32</font>

Flop: Donk or check-raise? Is my raise size ok?

Turn: Fold? Or call hoping to improve to the full house or that he doesn't have a straight?

I reraise pre, I prolly raise flop to ~ 2.5. Fold turn, you aren't getting odds.

I'm raising JJ PF.

Having raised I'm hopefully playing HU and bet the flop to charge any draws.

Your sample size is indicative of exactly nothing and I'm calling with top set here.

I know I don't have the odds if he has a straight. But is his bet too big to call assuming that he may also bet 2 pair, lower set, or just bluff?

I'm absolutely raising this PF, probably to somewhere in the vicinity of $2.

I'm also leading at this flop 100%. No way I risk villain taking the free card. As played, I don't hate the flop raise, but would prefer if you made it a bit higher on this connected of a board.

As played I go ahead and ditch this on the turn.

This is pretty much always a 10. If you think he might have 2 pair or a set, pokerstove a range
