Empire .50/1$ loose passive 7 handed game
I am in MP with [ Jc, Kh ]
UTG folds,UTG+1 calls, i call,button calls,SB completes and BB checks.
Flop is [ Jd, 5c, 7h ]
Checked to me i bet,button 2 bets,SB calls,BB folds,UTG+1 calls,I 3 bet,the rest call.
Turn [ Ad ]
I bet out to see what happens,the button folds! other 2 call.
River is 8s
they check to me,I bet they call
Normally before coming to this board i would have just call the buttons 2 bet but people here seems to agree that TP/TK (well it almost was) is worth a flop 3 bet.But after the SB and UTG+1 called his 2 bet cold should i have slowed down?
Results later

You probably have the best hand so long as button in WT so 3-betting is pretty routine.

Betting the turn makes a lot of sense; you charge the draws and can easily get a hanger-on to fold his 4 or 5 outs.

Betting on the river is probably ill-advised unless they are REAL tenacious and REAL aggressive (they would have raised the turn with an Ace).
