Default Re: TPTK facing a min raise and a strong turn bet

You are only ahead of a flush draw.

You are joking, right? Weaker jacks play like this all the time.

Are you willing to back up your stack with a pair of Jacks and ace kicker?

That's read dependant, but your hand is fairly strong here on this board. Simply implying "don't go broke with top pair" is terrible over-generalized advice.

Don't be a calling station. If you play like Novles and call the turn $28, what are you going to do if the villain put in another $50+ into the $80+ pot with a non club river?

Call again, and expect to be good most of the time.

And often being a "calling station" in position is the best way to extract money from weaker hands and missed draws that will bluff the river. If you raise at any point in the hand worse hands will simply fold, so you don't gain any value. And if you fold ace-jack on this board this easily you might as well just put on a skirt.
