Villain is a good thinking winner. I have seen him make some moves when he senses weakness but altogether he is solid.

Villain starts the hand with 900 and I cover...

2 limpers and I make it 30 to go on the button with AJhh
Villian (SB) just flats as do both limpers

Flop comes J85 with 2 hearts.
(120 pot) sB leads for 105, both limpers fold

I raise here 75% - 80% of the time but just called this time to mix it up

Turn Qd so J85q
(330 pot) sb leads for 285, hero?

I think you have to raise flop here. Your hand is too strong to flat, then be put into this spot on a brick turn. As played I think a shove might actually work. You rep a strong range (straight, set, QJ) which could potentially fold out J8, J5, 85 suited hands.

Call flop, call turn. Never raising at any point. I expect a solid reg to be leading sets and two pair 4-way on this texture.

Why would you raise? If the opponent is betting a heart draw we want to over flush them. I don't think a solid opponent is leading a weaker jack into 3 opponents.

As played fold turn. While he may have lead flop with the same hand (AJ), I think most players would slow down on turn once HU and an over card hits. Additionally, since we have hearts it is much less likely they are continuing on a FD.
