Default Re: NL10 JTs turns into OESD+FD on turn.

First off, don't show the results as it always biases the readers. I would recommend not showing your last action, i.e. BTN raises all-in to $16.85, Hero???
That being said this might sound crazy, but I don't play most suited connectors from early position, unless the game is passive. Are there a lot of PF raises in this game? If so, don't play this hand. If not, go ahead and limp with it. Also, the range you described for this villain seems pretty tight, which means you should definately fold to his PF raise. Draws are tough to play OOP, especially against a PF raiser. As played, I think your best chance for getting him to lay down is hand is by check-raising the turn. Leading into him looks weak to a lot of players, and they will often raise with on overpair. If you're going to call anyway, why not check-raise instead when you have some fold equity? How do you think this looks to villain? If you had a 9, wouldn't he expect you to go for the check-raise? By check-raising him, especially since you both started with 183 bbs, he may lay it down. I think the best play actually is to just check and call the turn, and lead if you make the hand and check-fold otherwise, unless you think this guy is capable of folding an overpair.
