Default AQ Semibluff - How Do I Max My Win Here?

$5 PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

Hero (t1440)
MP2 (t1440)
MP3 (t2260)
CO (t1360)
Button (t1100)
SB (t1190)
BB (t1260)
UTG (t2010)
UTG+1 (t1440)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls t30, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t90) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t30</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, SB calls t90.

Turn: (t330) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t30</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>

I don't like my turn bet. Based on his actions he probably has the 6 (he was SB) with a 10% chance he has a strangely played J. The only card I'm worried about falling is another 6 here. Should I have bet less and brought him along to the river?

Of course if any of the other streets look wrong to you, please comment.

Thx

Not a strangely played J... a well played J. It's called inducing a bluff, and it worked. I'd say your 3x raise is OK once in a while, but after that I think you have to let it go (check and fold).

There are lots of tihngs he could have in the small blind and just limp in: AJos, 66, QJos, JTos, J9os...

Do you mean the flop?
You would fold the flop to a 1/3 pot bet on a $5 SNG? Given that, you would fold the turn to a 1/11 pot bet?
