$10 NL HE 6-max: Pushed into straight with 2pair, should've seen it coming?

Hi there,

Sorry I don't have the actual Hand History thing saved (new), so bear with me if you may so please.

Now, for the action:

Action folds to me. I raise to 30c with 78o on Button +1, it gets called by SB (mid stack) and BB (big stack, ~$19 and playing aggressively). [Pot is 90c]

Flop comes 3d Qd 8s

SB checks
BB bets 30c [1/3 pot]
I call
SB calls

Turn: 7s

SB checks
BB bets 80c (4/9ths of the pot)
I take my time (feigning weakness is easier online), call 80c
SB calls

River: 10d

SB checks
BB bets $1.05 (into a $1.80 pot)
I re-raise all-in ($3.XX more)
SB folds
BB calls

I show 78o for 2 pair and he shows Jc9c for the straight.

I am really interested in your opinions regarding this hand (this is the only hand I've ever remembered so clearly!). I thought I played it right until the river and and I should have just called then. My roommate says that I should have raised him on the turn to show strength and push him off and make him pay to see his gutshot straight. When I made the call on the turn, I was thinking of extracting more money from SB because I didn't want to scare him off (I thought I had the best hand at that point). I thought it was an unorthodox play by BB to call all-in because I could have been representing the flush. I didn't think he would have bet like that with a gutshot straight draw and holding J9 without a flush draw. I was putting him on a Q. What do you guys think?

Cheers.

fold pre, fold the flop, raise the turn. the most obvious draw got there on the river, calling is OK, shoving is very bad.

with a straight and flush draw present, you have to play your 2 pair fast. So jamming the turn imo would have been the best play.

When the straight made it on the river i don't see any reason to raise as anything thing that beats you calls and anything that doesn't wont.

Its a big lesson to learn, but you will eventually and you will probably still do it a couple more times. lol
