Re: semi bluff raise with JT
[ QUOTE ]
The turn is a pretty bad spot to throw a raise in because you open yourself to a 3-bet. You can't fold given your draws, but you don't have the equity to pump it.
I much prefer raising the flop, and taking the free card if its offered to you.

I agree, especially since you hand doesn't have much showdown value against this unknown, with all those other face cards out there. You are on a draw and unlikely to win unless it hits. Raising the turn buys you a free showdown when you would rather have a free card.
