Default Trip Jacks vs. lots of aggression

Over almost 15K hands at $2/4, my aggression factor is only 2.05, so I'm looking for spots to increase it. Was this hand good? Should I have thrown in another raise? Should I not have bet the turn?

Villain is unknown.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, CO calls.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (7 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, Hero calls.

River: (11 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: 13 BB

I would always three bet the turn, and often if he caps I would lead the river, unless I knew him to be passive. His most likely hands are JK, JQ, J10, not a set.

Looks good to me...Anymore aggression vs. an unknown would be spewing IMO

Looks pretty good. Another option is to check/call the turn and bet/fold the river, or bet call. However, you probabably want a showdown to see if the unknown overplayed his hand or actually had the set.

Checking the turn is bad because it gives villian the option of free card if he was on a megadraw like [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]87, or [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T8...

even tho he is an unknown, he seems to be playing like he has a hand, or overplaying his crappy two pair, not on a draw. Do you really see him checking behind? I see him donking again on the turn.

What makes you say that? How often does J10 cap this flop? I'm not saying that I necessarily think you're wrong, but I was wondering if you had a specific reason for saying this, or just a gut feeling, or what.

Sets are pretty uncommon, and J6 / 96 aren't that likely. Players capping top pair I find to be much more common.
