Default J8 Blind defense: Bet?

30/20 co raises
I call in the BB with J8s

Flop comes Kh, 8c, 6d and I bet

turn 3d I bet again

Any reason to play this differently?

I like checkraising a lot better. Gains the initiative, he might fold a 6 outer right there (QT,JT etc), he might fold a 3 outer right there, he might fold hands that pick up backdoor draws etc. Also, it could be for value as he may call down with a worse hand (small pairs, big aces etc).

What happens when he calls the c/r. Do you come out and bet again on the turn?

People respect c/r much more than triple donks IMO, so I just donk till the river against a lot of opponents knowing they will call down with a mediocre hand (like 66 or 77)
