PLO500 6max, "Galfond"raise on the turn

BN: Jon Doe: $0
SB: Player4: $1397.25
BB: Player5: $471.25
UTG: Player6: $925
HJ: Player7: $658.50
CO: Hero -: $480
In this hand we are up against a reg with stats VPIP: 26, PFR: 16, 3B: 8, AF: 3,4, Hands: 287 who is defending so far about 50% of his BBs against a BU steal. We are playing effectively for his stack here, so about 95bb deep.
Preflop ($10.00) (5 Players)
Jon Doe was dealt T 7 J 7
Player6 folds, Player7 folds, Jon Doe raises to $15, Player4 folds, Player5 calls $10
We find JT77ss otb and make a standard open, he decides to defend. So far nothing special.
Flop ($35.00) T 8 J (2 Players)
Player5 bets $25, Jon Doe calls $25
We get quite a wet board where we flop top2 and the idiotgutter, he decides to donkbet this flop, I have stats on him doing this in 32% of time (19samples). I see no other play but calling and deciding on the turn.
Turn ($85.00) 3 (2 Players)
Player5 bets $70, Jon Doe raises to $194
Turn is a great blank, he continues betting. Now, as I've been paying attention in Phil's videos, I decided to make something we named the "Galfond-raise", after his video series about raising turns, which I highly recommend to watch if you haven't done so yet. I think it accomplishes a few things, we put him in a really tough spot with a lot of hands in his range, beginning with nutflushdraw/blocker over to hands like KQT which he might have decided to lead, up to hands as even JT9 or blank JT and even sets, of which we block the most, fortunately not the bottom ones, which he is more likely to fold than JJ here. Again, not sure how much profit it will show, but I think I can credibly rep a lot and make him fold either lot lot of equity or even the best hand here.

Looking forward to your comments, would love to have Phil himself commented on this one :)
