Default JJ, Too Aggressive?

This was my 2nd orbit so I didn't have real good reads. Villian had only played a few hands with nothing note worthy in his play. He certainly wasn't a LAG and seemed to be thinking a player but I hadn't reached any conclusions. He hadn't played a lot of hands so he wasn't the any 2 will do type.

Is this overly aggressive? Should I have just gone into call down mode (a fold was not an option for me here without a strong read which I don't have here). I have a real hard time figuring out what to do here. It feels like a way ahead/way behind situation so maybe calling down is the best line. He could of had a hand like TT, 88, AQ, or AJ and been making a play. I had a hard time giving him credit for AA, KK, QQ or AK since he didn't 3 bet (JJ was possible in which case any play is 0 EV). He could also have had 99 or A3s which I'm way behind to. It seemed like there were more possible hands I beat than beat me so I felt a reraise was the best play. What are people's standard line here?

All comments and criticisms welcome. Thanks.
