check-don't fold turn is optimal. KJ/QJ/putyouon AK/AQ probably in his mentality too.

He could have KcJc/QcJc here, and if he does, he is shoving these optimally even if he knows you have QQ+.

Interesting hand, I think its a call, looks like he has gained some extra equity on the turn. Is he going to shove a weaker a Jack without the extra equity?

You could check the turn for some pot control but If you check the turn you're going to have to call his bet anyway and then what are you going t do on the river.

Not sure maybe you need to make a decision either way go for three streets and bet bit larger of pot control.

Agree on this one. I'd add that if he has sth better than a J, he wouldn't be jamming that turn.

I think vs an unknown i may call turn there should be no 2 pairs in his range. if there are 2 pairs in his range he is probably getting top pair no kicker in as well. dont think he would shove a set well maybe he would shove to protect not sure vs an unknown.
Im not sure though maybe it is a fold we do have the jack of clubs so that removes a lot of pair suited combo hands we are doing well against.
you could check call turn as a lot of our range whiffed this flop so he may bluff or value bet worse hands?
