Re: JJ
I think you're going to loose this hand more than half the time, but I think the size of the pot makes up for that. I think the pot size makes a fold wrong, you probably still have more equitiy than any player currently drawing.
I think the choice is between raising now, or calling and raising a safe turn.
Raising now, you'll make it about 9 to 1 (taking into account rake) for the next three callers, at least making it marginally incorrect for a gutshot to call.
In decending order any 8, 4, club, or overcard to a jack is relatively scary.
I'd probably be tempted to do this:
Call the flop. I don't think you'll knock anyone out here with a raise. A late position raise will very often be a drawing hand. Call the raise if it comes. On the turn raise any safe card, probably raise even if it's an overcard to your jacks.
