unless i have good control over this opponent (Which is usually NOT the case at 6max) i dont raise the flop. they usually wont let you showdown for cheap; they'll frequently stop n go the turn or the river if they have a jack. so i like calling the flop and raising the turn. i have found this line to be successful for several reasons:

-avoid getting 3-bet on the flop
-you will almost never get 3-bet on the turn by a worse hand
-much more likely to get a free showdown with a turn raise
-if the turn happens to be an overcard, you can represent it VERY well with this line and might get him to fold a J
-charges him the MAX for any draw he might be betting
