This is a great example of why many people HATE JJ. I also think it's a great example of the WORST way you can play JJ. By it's very nature it almost encourages Loose-Tight play. In my opinion, the way to play JJ is (depending on the situation) get off the fence one way or the other. Push it or get out of there. In this particular situation, it seems to have worked out fine, but I'd recommend folding given the read of SB. You need a good hand to call a raise. You need a better hand to call a re-raise and original raiser is yet to act. What if he re-pops it!?

SB's action was fine.
