I would keep betting. It looks like he has a hand he likes, hopefully a set. I would put out a bet of about half the pot to indicate you had a jack before and are now a little worried about the K and straight possibilities. This will also price out any flush draws. Hopefully he will raise you and you can push all in. If he just calls then you can get it in on the river.

PF is alright
flop is fine (would raise more personally say like 350-500)
turn bet pot size 300 is way to weak here giving him 3-1 odds is fine to draw out on you

what could villian be on ? straight draw flush draw ?
he wont have set he would of reraised it on the flop with the monsterdraw on the flop
turn: either he has hitted his straight now with Qx or hes still on the draw

bet pot size or little more giving him 2-1 odds or less wich is the +EV play imo

Don't know if it's good thinking or not, but I did the same thing.

AHABCAPTAIN - Bets $370, MP2 Raises $740 to $740, AHABCAPTAIN - All-In(Raise) $780 to $1150, MP2 Calls $410. Pot $2900.
*** RIVER *** [4s]
AHABCAPTAIN - Shows [Qs Kh] (Straight, nine to king)
MP2 Shows [Ac Qh] (Straight, ten to ace)
MP2 Collects $2900 from main pot

The problem is that as you said, we are hoping that he has a set. After later examination it's just unlikely because I suppose he would have raised preflop with 99, TT, JJ or KK. It's more likely he has a queen and we are about to split the pot. Unfortunately he also had an ace and busted me from the tourney.

What's your opinion, should I have folded after his raise on the turn? It usually is a sign of a very strong holding but can also be a semi-bluff.
