Default Re: 2/4 B&M - JT and I raise KT92 on turn; standard or spewarific?

On the flop, you don't have as clear an idea what MP2 might be donking, so your raise there is defensible in a big pot. But the turn one is just spew. What makes is spew is that even if you can get out AQ, KQ, QT-Q8, you likely aren't beating MP2 if you catch a J. When he bets the second time he has something like KT, TT, or 99. KQ and KJ are possible too, though somewhat unlikely, and they don't spell good news for you either. Could even have QJ and didn't want to re-raise the flop to keep players in.

Seems like you need a pretty serious parlay here: getting out the Qs, hitting your hand, and having it hold up. So just play to hit the queen yourself and call the turn, the odds are there.
