Default Was this wrong?

$109 tournament with rebuys (rebuy period ended 20 minutes ago and the blinds have gone up once since then). I am dealt JJ on the button. I have T3,800. Blinds are 100/200.

UTG raises to T600. Called by the cutoff. Both opponents have slightly more chips than I. Never seen the cutoff before. UTG I saw raise preflop with AA several orbits ago from UTG then call an all in with it (not much to go by).

I think about re-raising but decide to just call, and decide what to do when the flop comes - I will have position after all.

Flop comes 8 4 4 with two diamonds. UTG checks. Cutoff bets T800 into a pot of T2,100. I ponder and figure that UTG is likely to have AK or AQ, missed the flop, and is checking it to two opponents who called preflop. I am more worried about the cutoff - who could have a four, possibly a set of eights. He could also have an eight or 99 or TT and be probing on the flop, or it could be a cheap steal attempt. I consider just calling again and decide it would be too weak - I could get beaten by overcards, a flush coming or even a straight coming if I indeed do have the best hand at this point.

I go all-in. UTG calls. The cutoff folds. The UTG has AA.

Guys, did I make a mistake here or was it a bit of a set-up, the cards, the board and everything else?

looks fairly standard, probably just delayed the inevitable by smooth calling preflop, tough break

Standard. You have JJ and less than 20 BB's and the flop was 3 under and paired. Time to go broke.
