Default Better way to play this

At local cardroom, playing 2/4 200max buyin NL . A number of aggressive players, I have played TAG, but lost a 2 showdowns after raising the turn on PFR heads us, and being outdrawn to straights each time.

I am dealt JJ on button. Position 3 raises to 15, 5 callers including me and BB.

Flop comes J 8 9 with 2 spades. Position 3 makes it $60, and he has 100 left. It is checked to me. I bet $200.

BB thinks hard then mucks. Position 3 calls, everyone else turns folds. He turns over K Q spades. I win the pot.

Do you feel I bet too much and might have picked up other callers, or was that bet justified given the 2 spades on the board and position 3 was likely pot commited?


Thanks

What position are you in preflop?
What are stacks preflop?

I would 3 bet preflop probably

Pushing Position 3 in is fine
