BB is unknown. Button is LAG.

Any advice on playing in situations like this?

I call down here expecting not to win UI. You have some hidden outs against two pair.

So there is possibly someone holding J9 here. Strange line though either way, honestly though, there may be two players who both hit top pair with J.

Consdiering some reads here I think I might cap the turn and call down on the river if there is anything that doesn't help your hand.

Someone could be on J9 here. I don't think AJ is that far off. Someone could also be pumping their diamond draw. Depending on reads I might cap. UI I'm just calling down the river.

I would feel inclined to call down.

If button is a lag he could be 3-betting the turn with as little as a flush draw.

I think its more likely that you are up against a slow-played set from the flop, or 2 pair. Against 2 pair you still have up to 8 outs to improve to a better hand, so I think a turn call is justified.

I would also check/call the river, because its possible that your hand might be best if your opponents had overplayed something like Jx, and the pot would be quite big.
