$50NL - JJ UTG Smart play or just a Gambool?

[Landlord79]

I wasn't intending on playing last night, but I was sweating a buddy and noticed the BB at 61/43/3, he obv had a monster stack that he was trying to give away, so I sat to his left.

I'm not worried about the shorty going AI, I got an overlay from the maniac to call him down, but my intent was to draw the maniac in and double up.

Is this too strong of a play w/ Jacks or is it standard against this type of maniac? I knew he would raise pf and thought that I could iso him for a headsup pot.

Well played.
You might even be an underdog to CO, so you want as much of maniacs money in the pot as possible.
