Maximizing value on the turn

He has virtually the nuts on the turn, only 3 cards can possibly beat him on the river. Why not go for overcalls on the turn? If they are calling that flop, another jack isn't folding everyone else for 1 bet IMO.

The next time you make quads on this board, I hope you go for overcalls on are shown AQ at showdown.

Seriously, many strong draws will go ahead and call two bets. And every once in a while somebody will have a made straight or will have turned a boat and would give you unlimited action if you echew a slowplay.

Sometimes going for overcalls will get you one or two more BBs, but the profit you make on the times when somebody else is slowplaying a big hand or when somebody spikes a flush on the river and check-raises you more than compensates.
