Re: I think I screwed up with these jacks
hollywade,
i think this is quite standard, but JJ is really hard to play in these positions, as most ways are only slightly +EV.
Stack sizes make it complicated here.
I think you have to raise, cause with flat-calling you will most times be in a multiway pot and have to mine for a set - but JJ are too strong therefore. I think flat-calling with TT is fine though.
Your reraise ammount is good, as you can lay the hand down against a 4-bet and your stack remains intact. Your stack is much too large to shove this.
And laying down against the 4-bet (against a tight UTG-raise) is of course right.
But as often with JJ it's close.
I like your line most.
Calling and mining for a set might be ok, but you have to be aware of a squeezer behind you.
If villain is a tight straight-forward player also folding is not a bad choice, as you don't loose much value imo.
