I'd raise JJ from the CO pre-flop, with only limpers, because you will have position on the flop.

is that a scary flop? only thing scary to me is the river, why not raise flop or turn

[Hornacek]

limping is not horrendous here, early on in the sng, but raising from CO is not bad either.

i would have made a 1/2 to pot sized bet on the flop here, and if you are called, slow down a bit. some sort of continuation bet on the turn, and check the river down. use your position to the max.

I don't mind limping here, but in the CO with 1 limper in front of me I might bring it up to around 50 - 60 to eliminate the blinds.

You have a pretty good flop, you need to put in a good raise (or bet if checked to you) to force all the draws to fold.

The rest of the hand from that point would probably have played itself.
