Reraise preflop.

Re: JJ Hand - You decide
 

I would have reraised before the flop. The button, who either just flopped a set or has an overpair would have folded a small pair and you would have a better idea of where you stand now.

If you lead out on the flp, i think you ahve to expect a raise here, and push.

Re: JJ Hand - You decide
 

All good answers. I think I was a little trigger shy with my position, as I thought I was going to have a squeeze play put on me (between the SB and the button). I folded this because I wasn't quite ready to get my whole stack in with JJ.

Villians hands and results in white:

Villian 1 hit jack on turn and won with a pair of jacks.</font>

I'm not sure how to read your reads. Do they merely linger with inferior holdings when attacked, drawing out often, or do they counter-attack and steal pots when they are shown strength?

I think that either of these descriptions, as long as they are the same type of player, have you in trouble, as far as post-flop goes. Obviously the bet from Button is troublesome if he's a weak calling station, and if the deep-stacked CO is aggressive, then he would probably have either raised or folded to your bet with a hand that you beat. His call between your raise and the preflop raiser seems rather ominous. And button doesn't seem to mind giving CO better than 3-1 odds to call.

The only two choices are push or fold. Pushing is such a shot in the dark that I would strongly consider folding. But a look at my resultant relative stack size, as well as the consideration that button sees your bet as a probing bet and CO's call as possibly a hopeful draw, make me push and wince.
