Guy to my right is pretty laggy - especially on the flop. AJo happened one hand, TT hand the next. Hence parts 1 and 2.

Bet the turn. The idea is that you're isolating this guy because he could have any two cards and will overplay them, right? Why would you give his random draw or overcard a free draw here?

Bet the turn.
Your flop play is correct, but it is to protect your hand, not so much for isolation.

i'd bet the turn and river unless it got scary and i felt like a check/raise is coming. lags like to 3-bet top pair. i think your jacks are good here, especially with the ace kicker.
