Nope. Good raise. Making draws pay here with very likely the best hand.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

check/raising the flop, on the other hand, was bad. You gave everyone 9:1 pot odds on the call... which in many cases makes a profitable draw. Lead the flop

I'm confused, outphase. To me that seems like a fine approach to the hand. For one thing any good draw (the most obvious candidate here is the flush draw) doesn't need better than 6:1 anyway, which is what they're getting if you just bet out. So a good draw is already going to call. A bad draw (pocket pair draw to a boat, or a gutshot straight) is making a mistake even calling for 9:1. Also most of the time (2/3 of the time at least) the initial bet will come from a late position player, which means those middle position limpers will have to call two bets and not one after the raise - i.e. their pot odds actually get worse, not better, although the pot is larger. Finally, it seemed like trip jacks (assuming no one else has the jack) is a strong enough hand to do fine against most draws, anyway. You have a powerful redraw against a flush or straight. You only really fear a pocket pair drawing a boat against you, and anyone calling any bets with a middle or low pair on that board is, uh, not that smart, and clearly making a mistake pot odds-wise.

I agree with rondavu that the turn raise is good - in fact almost mandatory. After that a check/call on the river is fine. You're probably losing but you have to make that first raise for value.
