Not sure if I played the flop or turn correctly. Advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Pretty standard on both the flop and turn. Hard to imagine that we're ahead here, and you've got nothing but your two outs, so folding the turn is fine. I'm assuming a standard player since you haven't provided reads, but obviously, the more aggressive the player, the more I'm considering calling down.

I thought you played it correctly. You can't give him credit for the king just by betting into you on the turn. You correctly raised, and his 3-bet indicated strongly that he did have at least a king. Getting great odds you correctly saw the turn. When he bet again you correctly folded getting only 8.75-to-1 this time, and with no straight possibility. You were almost certainly drawing to only 2 outs, and you would've had to call another bet on the river to showdown this hand.

Flop: Hard to tell the correct play here without a read on MP1. If MP1 is a passive player, I think you can lay it down right there, considering he knew the preflop raiser was sitting behind him. If MP1 is aggro, then I think a raise is ok. When I'm 3-bet in this situation, I'm probably packing it in right there. I can't see him 3-betting w/ anything but top pair, 2 pair, or a set, unless he's a maniac.

I play this exactly the same way. Getting great odds to see the turn but when villains leads hero = screwed 90% of the time.

You should really cut off the action after your fold. Since you didn't, i can see that Villain kept betting after the A fell and conclude that he was not afraid of it and thus had your JJ crushed. This may skew my response.

Otherwise, nh.
