An old steal hand....
 

....how's this turn raise? I RARELY do this. Is it something I should be attempting more often? (I dug this out of PT, so I don't recall if I had any read.)

I don't like it much. With the QJ8 and flush draw on board he's gonna call with a lot of hands. Plus, this is a HU blindsteal hand so he's gonna call you down liberally.

I agree.

Also, cut off the action on your turn raise. The 3-bet might skew responses.

I dont like it. I´m not sure people CR with a 3 on this board and an 8 probably isn´t folding. If he CRed the gut, then he improved.

Raising A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] might be good though.

as much as you gotta like your hand on the turn, it's unlikely he's folding anythig

Would folding the flop be bad? That's what I would do.
