Won't that give a flush draw an oppurtunity for a free card?

The reality is that half the time you're already beat by JJ or QQ. Against A-Ks or A-Qs with the draw, you're not that great anyway. You don't have a big hand. Check the turn to control the pot and reevaluate based upon his action. You can fold this overpair if he bets the turn strong. I repeat, your hand is very marginal.

I would think JJ or QQ would have reraised the flop. I could get away from this if I bet less on the turn, but I would probably play this the same way. Given the pot size, I'm not folding the river.

You cannot put the button on the flush draw here. You need to give him some credit for the pre-flop raise (JJ+). Because the answer to your question is "No," it is not okay to go broke here the way you did.

Button likes his hand, check/fold the turn. Call a reasonable river bet if you get there. You have a marginal hand which plays plays better in a small pot.

I don't hate that line, but I'd like it better if my pair was bigger or there wasn't straight and flush draws. So many cards that you hate on the turn.

Maybe lead the flop and go for the all-in c/r on the blank turn, or 1/2 pot lead on dangerous turn, if called? Yet another example of the difficulties of playing mediocre hands OOP in NL.
