Another 6-max JTo hand

[AdamL]

Caller is passive. I took the advice given here prior and didn't raise the preflop, especially being OOP here.

I bet the flop because I felt that it was stronger than checking and calling, and my draw is fairly strong. (I think tripping up the T is good, the J maybe only counts as 1.5 outs, plus I have the OESD.) The fact that my draw has some extra outs means I don't lose if it gets raised. (I think)

The turn bet was a little iffy to me. I felt I needed to bet it, but I didn't really have an intellectual understanding of why.
