I would not 3 bet JJ vs MP.
Postflop it is overplayed. Board hits him.

I think that 3b preflop is fine. I'd bet smaller on turn. It's true that there's a flush draw but no need to bet this big. 5$ would be fine. You feel less obliged to call once you get raised and you shouldn't get too crazy with your hand. Although the bet is correct if you think he floats you a lot in this situation.

About turn raise:
- I think that he can have many bluffs with fdr in his range (for example AQ, AK, KQ of diamonds)---against this you are 2:1 ahead. If that's a call it depends on your opponent.
- the move does seem very strong. You should consider your history with this player and his stats (especially AF!)

Hey,

Hand is overplayed here.

Preflop it is recommended to flat call since we are playing vs an MP opener.

Turn is a good spot to bet/fold. It's pretty unlikely villain is jamming turn with a worse hand at these limits.

Neighter I would analyse it better.

Calling turn is not ok. Villain will jam turn on a bluff so rarely...

I think the board hits his range - QQ-99.
