If he’s wide enough to have J9 you have a much easier decision to jam turn. Him check/folding river is a serious concern when he has that many bluffs in his range.
Basically:
By calling turn, you let him check/fold river when he misses
Whereas if you jam turn, he always calls with his draws.
You win an extra $80 very often when you have a serious equity edge versus his draws.
There are some downsides to jamming turn, e.g. there might be a situations where you could fold river even getting 8:1 or whatever amazing price, but those situations are relatively unlikely, and IMO they do not counteract the positive benefits of winning extra money from the draw part of his range.
I don’t really think he has that many J9 though. You should also give him J8s. Your turn equity isn’t anywhere close to 44% IMO.
