Is this played right? My biggest doubt is the turn bet.

Looks fine to me. Turn's a relatively easy value bet. Think you're probably just questioning it because of the raise.

ipism? wtf, how does that one go?

I play this the same.

Unless I have a tight read on my opponent, I actually 3bet this turn routinely.

Villain may be check raising this turn with a lot that we still beat.
J, 8, Q, K, Hearts.

I have a hand that I believe is still ahead.
If Villain is semi-bluffing this turn, I want to gain value from him now before he misses.
Because we can't always guarantee he will fire again on the river.

And even if we are behind, we likely have 9 outs to catch up.

I push my edge here.

It's highly unlikely that this turn card beat you, so I definitely bet it. The SB's raise looks a little like a slowplayed set or straight, but I probably call down anyway against an unknown. Basically I play it the same.

i don't like this because if they cap you have to call to see the river and call on any kind of two pair or straight you make. but by that point you really shouldn't fold the river with just top pair anyway because the pot will be huge.

it seems like you would get in more bets when behind than when ahead like this. and in reality, i think when you get c/r on that turn here you are behind way more often than you are ahead, but you still have to call down because you are ahead often enough when you consider your outs also.

Yep. I also sort of hate a default of 3 betting the turn. I play it the same unless the opponent can raise really thinly for value or is super spewy with draws.
