Default Bad Play or Bad Luck w/ J-J?

Hey guys, I'm re-posting this because I didn't get quite as many responses as I'd hoped for last time.

Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.25)
HERO is the button
VILLAIN is the SB
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to pokerscool09 [Jc Jd]
UTG folds
UTG+1 folds
HERO calls $0.25
VILLAIN raises $0.75 to $1
BB calls $0.75
HERO raises $2 to $3
VILLAIN calls $2
BB folds
*** FLOP *** [7h 5c 3d]
VILLAIN checks
HERO bets $6
VILLAIN raises $14.95 to $20.95 and is all-in
HERO calls $14.95
*** TURN *** [7h 5c 3d] [Th]
*** RIVER *** [7h 5c 3d Th] [9s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
VILLAIN shows [Qd Qc] (a pair of Queens)
HERO mucks hand
VILLAIN collected $46.90 from pot


I'll go ahead and explain some of my thinking, though I think a lot of the hand played itself.
I had only been playing at this table for a few hands before this one, so I didn't have any strong reads on any of my opponents.
I originally limped in from the button simply because I didn't want to scare SB or BB out of the pot, and thought there was a reasonable chance that one of them might raise, so I could check-raise.
I proceeded to check-raise to knock villain off any mediocre hand i.e. K-9 where a raise might've been pertinent if villain had suspected weakness.
I bet pretty big on the flop because an over to J-J will come after the flop around 50% of the time (Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold 'Em) without any overs on the flop.
I thought villain might have a hand like 8-8, 9-9, or T-T, which would explain why he didn't re raise me pf. I thought he might even have overplayed A-Ks if he misread me and thought I was weak. I guess I'm looking for feedback on where I missed the evidence that he didn't have a hand like T-T.

Any thoughts?
