I like your play preflop, and on the flop I like the call if it will guarantee he bets into you on the turn; otherwise keep on raising!

I would cap the turn, and play the river just like you did. If he checks the river, bet and call a raise. No need to 3-bet on a board like that. Even though I don't think he has a 5, two clubs are possible.

UTG has 5d 7s (straight, seven high).
Hero has Js Jh (three of a kind, jacks).

UTG has a lot of guts, as he chooses to raise on the flop with just an inside straight draw.
I thought he might have hit two pair or a smaller set.
I just call on the flop, as I am almost sure he will bet into me on the turn.
But I agree on your response Guy. I have to cap on the turn, as I am in front of all hands, except 7-5.
