PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG ($4.65)
UTG+1 ($25.35)
MP1 ($6.95)
MP2 ($35)
Hero (MP3) ($25.60)
CO ($10.10)
Button ($17.15)
SB ($4.75)
BB ($25)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, A
2 folds, MP1 bets $1, MP2 calls $1, Hero raises to $3.50, 5 folds, MP2 calls $2.50

Flop: ($8.35) J, J, 2 (2 players)
MP2 bets $2, Hero calls $2

Turn: ($12.35) 10 (2 players)
MP2 bets $5, Hero calls $5

River: ($22.35) 5 (2 players)
MP2 bets $5, Hero calls $5

Total pot: $32.35 | Rake: $1.55

I felt like I should have raised somewhere in here, since Jx is a tiny part of his range. Should I be trying to stack off here against QQ/TT on the flop or what? His river bet made me think he didn't have FH/trips, which means I have him beat, but I did not raise. Meh.
Thoughts?

I would ask questions, but you said no reads. I think you have to be raising at some point, preferably the flop. QQ or 1010 look like a good guess, 99 and 88 [/i]might[/i] do this, but why would he keep donking into you with small under pairs? 22 would be gross and I wouldn't rule out a LAGG continuing preflop with it, although unlikely.

If he donks with draws, in this case a FD, you have to be raising. He could have some kind of Ax flush draw going, in which case you let him get there.

I think after you just call on the flop and the turn brings in draws then calling down is fine.

 I raise flop here. I'd say this is usually either a weakish pp or a FD, so either way there aren't a lot of cards that we can allow to fall that will improve villains hand but not kill us.

We can felt this flop with decent enough equity vs his stack off range. He'll stack off with 88 99 a scary amount and always with 1010 QQ KK imo. If he has a jack, he gets my stack.
