Fold on flop. Seriously. I know it's just 30 cents, but it's a paired board and you're drawing to four outs. Even if you hit you will seldom make enough money to compensate for a bad odds call on the flop. You are getting about 6:1 there and your draw is 11:1 to hit. If you hit the board looks like this:
AJJTx
JT, JA, and even Jx may body-slam you with a boat. Most other hands are not going to call substantial bets. You're basically hoping to hit a ten and have somebody out there make some mistakes calling down with a jack or an ace, and I don't think it's profitable. The only hand that's really paying you off here is KJ, and how could you know he's got that? AJ or TJ is more likely.
As far as the turn, I don't like your raise. You're raising big, pretty much in the dark (no idea what you're up against). It's not a good value raise - it's unlikely to be called by a worse hand except maybe a lone jack, and it's likely to get re-raised and cost you a ton of money if someone has a better hand. I could see a smaller raise or even a call hoping for a reasonably priced showdown. But since I don't like the flop call, it's hard me to judge the rest of the action fairly. Paired board + three broadway cards + two opponents = scary as hell, even with the broadway straight. Maybe *especially* with the broadway straight, since it's begging you to dump money in the pot.
