I've read alot of conflicting advice on limping with JJ or raising with JJ. Here I limped with all the callers in front of me. When it gets back around to me, my "read" is that I have the best hand at this point and will gladly try to triple up with my %55/%45 shot and maybe even %70/%30. I've already seen minraise boy raise QQ so I don't think he's limp/reraising a bigger pair. Do you like this play or would you rather fold here?

Raise pf first, the rest meh I dunno, not great, not terrible

christ, why would ever want to play JJ against two live hands?

The right play is to open raise, when ace boy reraises you are heads up and are at 56% instead of the 45% you ended up with. Still would've lost, but don't [censored] around with a medium pair like this. Too many overcards out there to get to fancy, especially considering no one's going to fold to any kind of reraise you put in.
