For those of you that excel at 6max, I'd like to get some feedback on how to proceed on the turn here...

This hand is my 7th of a session on Bovada. Basically nothing is known about SB, other than he's limped a few hands already, but I did not see any showdowns.

Bovada - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $1.86
SB: $6.93
BB: $4.73
Hero (UTG): $5.04
CO: $3.32

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has A J

Hero raises to $0.20, fold, fold, SB calls $0.18, BB calls $0.15

Flop: ($0.60, 3 players) J 9 2
SB bets $0.40, fold, Hero raises to $1.80, SB calls $1.40

Turn: ($4.20, 2 players) T
SB checks, Hero - ???

While playing the hand, I had no access to hud, but PT4 shows one when doing a hand replay. SB is 43/0 over the 7 hands seen.

Should I focus on the flop donk bet, fear the unknown and check the turn? Keep my foot on the gas, guard against potential flush draw and bet big on the turn? Close my eyes and randomly click until I hit an action button? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

After your flop raise, you're only real option is to shove the turn and hope for the best.

yes, if you raised flop any turn should be a shove. why else would you raise tptk unless you want to stack off? if you didn't want to stack off you should have called the flop bet.

Thanks guys. I figured based on the pot created that shoving was the play. Rewind to the flop - would a different play have been better here?

nah I think you played it right according to the information you gave us, a limped is usually a calling station as well so it is very likely that he will call you down with a worst J or even an underpair or a draw.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I haven't played much 6max, and everything I've read talks about increased aggression pre and post flop. I elected to shove the turn, and SB had QQ. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting and being overly aggressive with tptk.
