W/ JT on a JTT board, a lot of the time we're only getting value from the other two jacks by betting. Also, if there are open-enders out there that are going to make a striaght later in the hand, we're still getting a call. By betting we may lose gut shots that might give value if a 4 outer hits. Still I think the best move will usually be a 1/2-2/3 pot bet.
