Follow the Baluga Theorem and fold everything below top 2p.
Plus his raise is big and we can fold.

JT came there. Sets are not that likelly, except 88 because QQ+ is probably 3betting preflop and 99 is usually check/folding the flop. I would still give him at least 1 combination of each AA, QQ and 99. The problem here is that probably nothing worse than 2-pairs is raising at that point (because people don't bluff check/raise turns alot and top pairs are just check/calling), so I think we can fold. I would probably call AQ and better.

As a default, folding seems okay here. A few bad rivers and, unless you have a read, call/call seems a bit thin.

I agree that JT got there, but then again do people really call with approx 3/4 pot with a gutter hoping to get lucky? If you have that read then you could say JT got there on the turn IF and ONLY if you thought it was part of villains flop calling range (according to the funnel principle, great video on that subject here on pokerstrategy.com by the way).

Yea, these hands got there too. And I believe there are some JT in his range. It is not super likely because someone might 3bet those pre but still. If he calls pre with JTs he will call your flop bet with at least 3 combos, those that have a backdoor flush draw too.
