I also voted to fold. I just can't to think of a hand that JJ beats that would play that way.

The thing that made me choose RRAI is that SB is an "expert." So this could be a meta-game thing. Our image is TAG, so we're going to c-bet the flop. He's expecting this. AK/AQ is a big part of our range here, which is a total whiff. He leads so that we'll make our continued show of strength, which we'll probably do on that flop from position regardless of how he plays it. I think he leads small with the intention of throwing in that third bet to make us fold anything other than big pairs. I think the shove is enough to convince him we actually have the big pair.

Besides, Given our "very-tight" range PF, he's going to push AA, KK, but maybe not QQ. If he doesn't push those PF, then he's not going to push them now because nothing's changed. I feel he has a mid PP here which he's testing to see if they're good. If he has TT, we're getting stacked.

I like this line, very nice write up

I think the information given in the question makes this a fold:

SB leads for $80. You raise to $250, and the SB re-raises to $650. Your image is tight aggressive, very tight in early position, and you rarely bluff. What should you do?

We have a TAG image -- very tight in early position -- so SB knows we have AK/TT+ preflop. On the flop, SB bets $80 into a $90 pot. We make a big raise committing 25% of our stack to this pot, and we rarely bluff. He's pretty sure we have TT+ now. He most likely has TT+ here, slight chance he may have A2s (but not sure how "expert" he would be calling PF with that OOP).

We can't get SB to fold now. It will be $350 more to him into a $1650 pot. Getting 5:1 pot odds, he's going to be calling unless his play was a complete bluff (which I doubt).
