This is interesting. I like a call here. SB can have a very wide range of hands that he could be raising with. I am guessing that BB has AK. If there is any scare cards on the flop, easy fold. But if it say, 2 7 9, then you might be in a tougher spot.

Your probably behind. But, you are getting 6.5 to 1 right now, I would call with any pair in this situation. jacks just makes it better. Call, and hope that the flop comes Jxx. In that case, you will easily make back your preflop investment. Additionally, if you are reasonably sure that the flop is only going to be one bet, you probably have the odds to peel there.

And remember you have posiiton here so it doesn't cost you anything after the flop if you miss.
