See the answer
Best play: Bet 75% pot
Why
Principle: semi-bluffs with 12+ outs deserve aggressive sizing when the turn card hits the in-position range harder. Applied to JTs: ~30% equity (flush draw + gutshot) plus fold equity vs BB pairs that cannot continue vs sustained pressure. So: bet 75% pot for both fold equity AND equity-when-called, instead of giving up the combo draw.
Key idea
Strong combo draws on a broadway turn want size: you fold out weak pairs now and still have big equity when called.
