Re: How Would You Play It?
"Hero should have called first" would be my option, but hey..
Now you are here, with blinds this low, you are going to be probably a coinflip at best. You have a pretty healthy stack, and the blinds are still low, I'd probably fold.

Re: How Would You Play It?
JJ is probably one of the most over-played hands at the SNG's because they look so good. Granted, it is a nice rush to have these two cards, but normally you should just call, or maybe even fold (if playing tight) from early position. In your situation, it was worthy of a call and not a raise. There are many different combinations that could beat you, and most likely in a 9 handed game, it is likely several people will have an A, K or Q, and it may likely get paired on the board. However, I would have called and hoped to make a set, but don't hesitate to fold if a higher card appears on the board.
