I was thinking maybe everything worse than Jacks. I think I'm more likely to check-call the turn than check-raise. I don't see him bet-folding many better hands on the turn, and he's probably not folding the draws either. I suppose I could c/r and then c/c blank rivers, but I'm not wild about that.

As you said, the Kd on the turn is a good barreling card if he happens to pick up a flush draw, but it's also a good one if he doesn't. So I'd assume that his range here is weighted towards marginal 1 pair hands, like 2nd pair weakish kicker or something. I think you'll get called here pretty often. What would you do if he bets on the turn? Do you think it would be a good play to c/r when you pick up a gutshot? KJ/K8/J8/sets make some sense and you have a little equity against his calling range, but not as much that c/ring and folding to a shove would be bad.
