Looks like a good play, with the two flush/straight draws on the board, I might prefer to bet 4 or 5 on the turn. The river fold is fine unless you have som crazy read on the villain.

if you're gonna steal with J7o think about making it 4BB to go. IMO the blinds have been a lot less likely to call and you'll take down the blinds a lot more often.

I would bet a little more on the turn. a less-than-half-pot bet is often not folding out a draw. i would make it $4 to go for two reasons: because you'd be cuttin down villain's implied odds if he's on a draw, and also you'd get more information as to his possible holdings (ie. he might call a &lt;1/2 PSB with a T or even a 3, but i think would be unlikely to do so to a stronger bet). he might also perceive the turn bet as weak and C-C with the intention of bluffing any river (given how drawy the board is, most cards are bluffable).

I don't like your turn bet much. I think anyone who called the flop is likely calling the turn, so either pot it for max FE or just check.

Checking induces a bluff on the river from missed draws while keeping the pot small so their bluff is a managable size for you to call.

Bet more on the turn, Fold the river as the villian has shown strength the whole hand and is now leading into you.

If you're going to steal, steal like you mean it. 4-5BB pre-flop. Pot size flop bet. If you want to fire again, pot sized turn bet. But mostly, just don't play that hand. JXo is among the weakest hands in the deck. When you catch a piece, you just cost yourself money.

I don't think the difference is big between 4 BB and 3.5 BB. Sure your right I should have betted around 4-5$ on the turn. But just wanted to bet an amount that would could be called by worse hands. Like middlepair e.g.
