ChezJ is an unknown quantity at this point
pre flop raise is fine. but what's up with the raise on the flop? you only do that if you suspect the first bettor is betting a straight or flush draw and you want to protect your hand. in this case, there are no apparent draws, so the only things you can put the bettor on are JX, two pair, or a set, all of which beat you. you are drawing to two outs with nowhere near the 22:1 you need to continue. it's an easy fold.

if you do decide to continue, raising is the right move but only so that you can take a free card on the turn and check-fold the river. which you did not do.

bottom line, horribly misplayed hand.
