could somebody, please, explain to me the point of the turn bet?

Thanks

Because AJ is ahead of most of UTG's hands, and he will probably raise a donk bet with whatever trash he has, most of them not as good as AJ. If he raises, the player at 2/4 probably won't understand what's going on, and they will fold a better hand.

does it have anything to do with the paired board? Would you have donked the turn if it was a blank?
