Re: Weak tight?
It would be less of a mistake (but still a mistake) if it was either of the two big stacks who had gone all-in. In that situation, calling with your JJ and winning would double you up, but no other player would be crippled. Since it's the other short stack pushing all-in, you'd not only double up (plus blind overlay), but you cripple UTG, putting him nearly all-in on the next hand.
UTG only has 5X the BB, he could be pushing all sorts of crap. Even a lot of good hands he could be pushing you're a big favorite against. You HAVE to call this, you'll probably have to make a stand with crap if you don't (or get blinded off).
NL is not a "safe" game, you always have to take risks. There's a lot less risk of getting knocked out on this call that you could reasonably have hoped for in your "make a stand hand" at this juncture.
