i dont like a checkraise here. if you had a jack i think its closer.

Why would it be closer if he had a J ?

because its more likely villain pays off a checkraise with a worse hand and there are more hands that villain could have that are worth valuebetting that you beat. its dependant on the kicker that you have with your jack however of course, because J2 is not any different then KT in this spot other than considerations to combos and AT.

I like this one more, think the check here does a better job at representing A-high.
