Re: A Turn Play w/ JT
PF: Not a huge fan of limping here b/c too many things can go wrong and I don't think its profitable
Flop: This is m standard play
Turn: Given your description of this guy as loose, I don't think he's laying down to your semibluff. Getting rid of AT/AJ is a good idea but I'd want the pot to be a little bit bigger relative to the turn bet for me to raise for this reason.
I think that the time to make this play was on the flop where you were getting 10:2 on your raise w/2 cards to come. After Sb checks, its pretty obvious he's got AK, AJ, or some low PP. At that time, I think its important to get him to lay down. The other thing you must take into account with this play is that if UTG has Qx, which is a distinct possibilty, this play loses a ton of value b/c you are no longer cleaning up outs. The combined possibility of cleaning up outs plus the free card possibility w/the size of the pot prolly makes raising the flop ok
