Too aggro with a combo draw? NL100 8-max

8-max game,

I have been looking for better spots to play a bit more aggro with my draws, not sure if this is a good spot or not when the board pairs on the turn.

Main villian is your typical weak betting station he has about 65$ I cover, my image probably isn't noticed but I am playing slightly loose and aggressive overall.

I am on the button with [Jh]

1 limper, villian is in MP and raises to 4$, folded to me, I call, BB calls, limper calls.

Flop - 4players ~16$
[Jd]

checked to the MP villian who bets 4$, I just call mainly to see how serious he is, BB and limper fold.

Turn ~24$
[9h]

Now villian bets out 6$, he has about 50$ behind, I raise it to 30$ total intending to call a push, is this standard?

Personally, I would have raised to like 20 on the flop to take it down right there, as played I have mixed feeling on the turn play: I think you stand a good chance of taking it down but if he wakes up with a push you may be drawing dead, his PF raise and then quarter pot bet on the flop is suspicious and may be something like JJ, so I think I'd raise less on the turn which if he has nothing which is pretty likely you accomplish the same thing, he's not going to call with say AK if you raise to 18 on the turn so I don't think the raise to 30 is necessary.
