If someone bets early on 4th and there are 4 callers, there really is no point to raise with those Jacks though I would agree....you may not have a big enough equity edge, especially if there are some potential big draws out there.

Your jacks may be the best hand at the moment, but still have no equity edge at all against many draws. Look at this sim:
