1-3 Facing Flop/Turn Lead

2 Limps
Hero raise JsJd to $21 on the Cutoff
A player named Mark limp Calls and is going to show up with a very wide range. He has Limp called my $40(straddled Pot) open w AJo, as well as called my $25 open in earlier hand with J2s. I have bluff caught him when he checked to riv w air and then full potted it and I called w 2nd pair, so I know he is capable of bluffing. Anyways. Mark has around 100bb

Flop KsQs6d Pot= $42
Mark Leads $20
Hero calls

Turn 4s
Mark leads $45
Hero tanks a bit, considering all options, and decides on a call.

I think calling is okay because it can never really be that bad having the spade in hand. Although, I do not like having JJ in that it blocks potential bluff hands like JT. The fact he is leading is of concern as live leads tend to be on the stronger side, however, the fact he can have like 40-50% of hands, and potentially just be leading super wide makes it really hard for me to fold. I considered a raise, but think it is probably better to raise a hand like AsTd or AsJd having the nut blocker, in the case he actually lead a FD, so we have outs, versus just raising a Js hand and sometimes be drawing close to dead. The more I think about it, seems totally okay to call turn, but still wouldn't mind some thoughts shared :)
