opponent in this hand is a regular in the higher limit party games... weve played NLH and PLO together as well, however i have a new handle which he has only played LHE against... hes solid.
one other blind battle this session two rounds prior.. i raised and he folded to my flop bet.

the Jack on the turn is a horrible card for you. Now all you beat is AK or a small pair.

I think the critical decision here is calling the turn raise which I think is worse than the other 2 options.

If you think there is a decent chance you are ahead, id check call turn and river. If you feel bet, i'd likely bet-fold turn.

I don't really see any reason to call the turn if you are going to fold the river. I'd check call turn and river, or bet/fold turn

I don't like checkraising the flop OOP here with this coordinated board against a good player. I think check-call, lead brick is better line. Or even...check-call, check-call, check-call (or poss bet-call, bet-fold, depending on the card). You give the guy too many ways to outplay you as played as well as make the most with the better hand. Just my initial reaction.

I'm not saying its wrong, just wondering what you want to accomplish. Do you think he will check behind and give you a free showdown or maybe hes full of BS? I dont play anywhere near these limits so i'm not too sure.

Just wondering as to why you called his turn raise? Image play?

There's a chance villain has KJ/AJ/JT? which he has 2-5 outs against, plus the 4 Q's may bring a split...so he has say 4.5 outs on average. That would technically require 9.2:1, but at this limit against this player we should consider the possibility we're being bluffed, and anyways we don't want to give the impression we fold to turn raises.
