J9s blindwar turn 3-bet

Let's say the villain is a typical 10/20 player.

Who likes this turn 3-bet?

I think I like it, but another person I talked to didn't like it. I figured it was a value raise, because villain could be raising with both worse hands, semi-bluffs and complete bluffs, and I also have a draw to the flush and most likely 5 clean 9 and J outs.

Hmm. . .maybe you should not put in the river action.

Anyway, I think it's OK - I liked it a lot at first, now I sorta like it a little. You have a ton of outs if you're behind, and you're right that it could easily be a value raise. Still, "typical" 10/20 players probably have you beat a decent amount here with a K. A "typical 10/20 donk" on the other hand, great 3-bet.
