hand from the borgata

dealt jj in early position with about 12k in chips. we started with about 20k, so i'm short, but the blinds are small enough where i'm not desparate.

tight player (20k) from utg raises to 600 and i call. player behind me (40k), also tight, but less tight than the utg player, reraises to 2500. folds around to utg, who thinks for a while then calls.

what's your move?

with deep stacks I think folding is probably correct. you're not deep enough to call for set value, and too often when you flop an overpair you will go broke to a bigger pair. basically, i'm not comfortable with any flop that doesn't have a J, and it's not worth 1/5th your stack.

I'd put the re-raiser on QQ-AA here, and the other guy looks like A-K or A-Q. Also, the re-raiser has position on you. I'd be folding with so many chips left and slow blind structure.
