Default I folded JJ preflop vs a shorty

Villain is LAG, 39/18/3
He had a full stack, but bleeded it away and didn't reload.

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $133.85
BB: $59.38
UTG: $31.55
MP: $39.35
<font color="black">Hero (CO): $114.45</font>
BTN: $146.95

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG calls $1, <font color="red">MP raises to $5</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $15</font>, 4 folds, <font color="red">MP raises to $25</font>, Hero folds

My line of thinking:
- my table image is tight
- his min-4bet screams "please call me"
- therefore I'm 90% sure he has an overpair and with his stack, I don't have the odds to call

If he shoved, I would have instacalled. I believe his min-4bet was an important tell which made me fold.

My question: do you guys agree with me, or would you say "[censored] it, put those extra 25 bucks in and have a race"?

I figure that a fold isn't that far from wrong. I'd probably be putting my money in though, because it's more fun.

I call the pf bet, don't like reraising with JJ. Then if it's heads up, I fold to any action on the flop if it's got more than 1 overcard, otherwise I'm prob putting him all in.

I would have called. With JJ your range is good enough against a LAG short stack.

You are overanalyzing "yourself" and not the villian. Read what you wrote: Villain is LAG, 39/18/3 He had a full stack, but bleeded it away and didn't reload.. His range is wide!!

ALL-IN ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL
After the hand, I felt really good about my fold
After my session, I wasn't too sure about it
After this thread, I'm sure it was bad [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the input

Your reraise should be larger so that you don't get these funny thoughts about folding this one.

That would have probably been best.
When I reraised, I did it with the intention of getting it all-in, but the min4bet messed with my head.
