Questionable Move with Jacks?

I was in a 10 single table SNG and the following hand came up.

I felt pretty stupid after the hand ended. It seems like I way overpushed with the jacks when I really didn't need to. I am so used to any pocket pair 1010 or higher usually being a dominant hand even against all-in moves made by other player at the $10 level that folding didn't seem like an option. However, I would have had some chips, even if I had folded to his re-raise. So, I would like to hear how you would of played this hand.

Thanks!

reraise would set off alarms to me...unless I need to double up I drop JJ

I think the fact the BB re-raised AND didn't push would set off alarms. You have to give him credit for AK, KK, AA or QQ unless you have a read that would tell you otherwise. You're a big dog against 3/4 of those hands and even money with the other. Jacks are tricky.

I agree with Eder and Sam. I think your initial raise is fine, but when you get reraised like that, it's time to throw those Jacks away.

JJ is one of the toughest hands to play for a reraise. i usually fold it if i am not committed, as there are really no hands a reraiser can have that you are a big favorite against, but you can easily be a big dog.

I appreciate all of the replies. I agree with the repliesthat have been posted that would advise laying down the jacks. Jacks are a hand that I have often struggled with, so the more situations I learn from the better!
