how do i play this turn?

UTG: $22.52 (Hero)
HJ: $30.61
CO: $10
BN: $10.75
SB: $22.92
BB: $10
Preflop ($0.15) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A K
Hero raises to $0.30, HJ calls $0.30, CO folds, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds
Villain is 23/21/5 in my HUD over 500+ hands. I know he's a winner at these stakes, at least over the last month. 27% WtSD and 63% W$SD. The notes I have are that he's tight pre and his check/range range is pretty small and tight on all streets.
Flop ($0.75) 8 9 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $0.50, HJ raises to $1.50, Hero calls $1
Turn ($3.75) T (2 Players)
Hero checks, HJ bets $2.75, Hero calls $2.75
River ($9.25) 8 (2 Players)
Hero checks, HJ bets $7

Big question is on the turn. With the nfd and blockers to almost all fd's, should I have led the turn? Check/calling seems to  make me face up and ripe for a steal on a non-club river. Is this prudent or really exploitable?

Jamming the flop for 200bb is pretty much pure spew ... I like the way you played the hand, it´s unlikely you have any fold equity when you lead the turn.

flop jamming is superspew, i agree...but can we really just XC the turn? T hits his semibluffing range superhard and i dont expect to be overs to be good anymore nor do i expect lot of implieds when hitting a club....

Lol at jam, turn is a fold, board is too coordinated and we dont have sufficient implied odds. I think we have around 20% on this turn given the board structure.

Ok, thanks guys. I agree flop jam is spewy, but I can't tell you how often I see it in the micros, especially from short stacks. 200+bb deep though, I'd rather play poker. Good point about lack of implied odds - with all the big clubs in my hand, there's no way I get his chips if I hit. So I only have to consider the odds for the call, and can't assume any of my A or K outs are clean, so ... fold turn. Funny how things clarify when you talk to other people.

Leading the turn might be a valuable idea, definitely better then x/c imo.

As played agree with ^^, turn should be a fold.
