I am a super-noob to the forums, but I still like to give my opinions. I dont like the cap PF. Since the original raiser is all-in because of the 3-bet there doesnt seem to be much chance of a cap. JJ is a good hand, but with so much action already you might be getting into trouble by capping it. On the flop I would raise, it was a good flop for J's and you need to find out where you are in the hand.

I like the preflop cap, especially since UTG+1 is put all in.

I would raise the flop I think, but I like how you played it. It's hard to say exactly what is correct since you have a great hand on every street.

What do you guys think about folding this preflop?

I think no. Not at your typical party table.

I've seen some PP players cap preflop with K9o, but these kind of players are rare, even for party. Against a raise and a reraise preflop, I think you should probably fold unless you have a read on the raisers. SSHE says the cutoff is QQ against a preflop reraise.

Gamble???? This is about as passively as you could've played here. MP1's reraise looks like an attempt to get head up with the almost all-in UTG+1.
The preflop cap is good. Raise the flop. If he calls then checks, bet the turn, if he calls then bets or 3 bets the flop call down. Obviously raise the river.
