Re: bad fold?
No, he more than likely had you. He check-raised the pot (7+7+7), which I haven't seen to be a bluff very often. Also, from the SB, he could have anything. A call is 25% of your stack, putting you close to pot-commitment territory with JJ overpair. So there's a lot of reasons to be done with this hand.
Also, why would you raise pre-flop with JJ? When you get called, there's going to be an overcard on the flop more than 70% of the time ruining your hand. I think it's far more profitable to limp in and bet into the raiser (if there is one) when you get your set, as you'll usually take them for their entire stack. I might be missing something here but I could never understand why raise pre-flop from an early position with a mid pocket pair, except to possibly mix up your play.
