Is it too early in the game to be pushing JJ all in with this much on a raise from CO 5-handed?

Seat #3 is the button
Seat 1: bonovox11 (685 in chips)
Seat 2: whitehot (1500 in chips)
Seat 3: dogshark123 (4130 in chips)
Seat 4: mdnttkr (5060 in chips)
Seat 6: HERO (2125 in chips)
mdnttkr: posts small blind 50
HERO: posts big blind 100

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to HERO [Jc Jd]
bonovox11: folds
whitehot: raises 200 to 300
dogshark123: folds
mdnttkr: folds
HERO: raises 1825 to 2125 and is all-in

Any read on whitehot? Assuming no read, I don't see the point of pushing here, he might have you beat. If this were bono, no brainer push, but white has a good amount of chips and you are in decent shape stack-wise. Why not RR to 650 or so?

Calling might be an option, but if a low flop comes and he has an overpair, see you later (although pushing would have same effect I guess).

Y not call and let your positional advantage play out? (easier said than done-- with the clowns on Party) If u were one of the blinds, then i think this would be a perfect canidate for a stop and go of T500.

Push is very read dependent-- how did he accululate his chips? Has be sitting tight-- or does he like to play alota hands for raises?
