Full ring (9) 80/160 game with the East Coast's finest slippery neon yellow chips. We recently had a new arrival who appears to be stuck and steaming, a man after my own heart. He's open raising and three betting all sorts of dubious hands in all positions. In this hand he opens in the cut off and we three bet in the small blind with A

. BB folds and he calls.

We bet, he calls
Turn: J
We check, he bets and we call.
My thinking was that we have some amount of showdown value against his overly wide and bluffy range, however I'm wondering if this hand fits better into our range as a lead or a check raise semi-bluff on the turn. Interested in the communities thoughts on playing this turn and the reasons why. Appreciate the feedback as always and I'll buy a round if you're ever out at The Borgata.
