    You say you want to induce a bluff, but if your opponent didn't bluff the flop, if they understand the game, how can they bluff the turn without *some* equity aka a semibluff that you would want out anyways? What would they be representing? A jack would almost never bet for value there. They wouldn't check the case king on the flop. J6, J4 wouldn't be in in the first place. They *should* never bluff the turn without some sort of flush or straight draw on a board like this unless they bet at the flop as well. It's a mistake. It would just have to be a mistake. It accomplishes nothing but saying, "hey reraise me, I got air and might be drawing." Maybe if they are a really big fish, I could see this, but even then, their cards could be anything aka the 53 and then you still have to worry about that too. Plus by hooking them on this way, you are also making your knowledge of the possible hands they could have equal to about nothing.

    Sometimes, you just got to accept your hand is too powerful to get action from worse because you have all but one of cards to get you action locked up (the last king) and you can know based on their flop action, that they don't have it.

    The only action you'll end up getting is based on some miracle runner runner checking two streets let get there.

    Just bet and try to hope they hit the J, otherwise take the pot there and move on would be my advice.
