raise the flop and evaluate on the turn. He could be calling with a lot of hands on the flop.

are we calling all the way down because villain has large hand range and the 5 aggro means he likes to bet a lot? Why not raise flop fold to turn bet? Maybe im too tight postflop but against a guy like this I would a) not raise JQo UTG, b) raise flop, then fold check turn unimproved c/c or valuebet on river if checked to, as played i would fold turn, is this a leak?

yes, it turns your hand into a bluff.

Against a guy with these numbers I think this is fine.
