3 way JJ line

BB is pretty laggy, UTG+1 seems to be a reasonable player although I've only played a couple of rounds with him. How's my line?

The raise on the turn didn't scare me since BB would do that with just about anything, but with UTG+1 calling 2 cold I'm not sure I like my hand anymore. Comments?

When a reasonable player raises preflop, the odds that they have a Q dramatically rise. Still, a reasonable player who just hit TPTK (or even top pair alone) isn't going to pass up a chance to raise this pot from immediately right of the bettor. I just don't see AQ, KQ, AA, KK, or QQ letting this flop go by unraised. The same applies at the turn. I also don't see a weaker Q raising preflop.

UTG+1's river bet looks like a busted flush draw attempting a steal. Don't put up with that crap: call.

This is what swayed me to a call on the turn. I also figured that there was a good chance that UTG+1 read BB for not having much (as I did). Unfortunately he had AQ and I'm still wondering if I should have gotten away on the turn.

Fold the turn. That extra player calling the raise makes the fold even easier.
