Re: NL25 -- JTs line check please?
Limp or raise less (to $.75 or $1) preflop. I'd rather have all the limpers call than isolate just one with a big raise. The idea would be to have a nice, multi-way pot on the button and JTs with which to flop or turn a big hand and get one of those limpers to stack off with their set or 2-pair.
As played, your line looks fine given the stack sizes. With deeper stacks, I'd make a 3/4-pot raise on the turn if (and only if) it left me a pot-sized push on the river (that I may or may not make depending on what it is, and whether villain checks or bets). In this hand, any kind of meaningful raise leaves the effective stacks way below a pot-sized bet on the river which reduces any fold equity there that you might have if you need it and choose to use it on a blank river.
