Default $1.20 - Is this a laydown with pocket jacks?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t1690)
UTG (t1915)
UTG+1 (t1290)
MP1 (t1350)
Hero (t2680)
CO (t1455)
Button (t1450)
SB (t1670)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t80</font>, CO calls t80, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero folds, CO calls t120.

Flop: (t500) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t220</font>, CO folds.

Final Pot: t500

No reads on opponent, i thought with one active player behind me after the reraise it would be dangerous to call and i would be in big trouble if undercards came and i was up against an overpair.

If you're going to fold to a re-raise, then why not limp so you can simply call a smaller re-raise to see a cheaper flop ??? At these blinds, and this buy in, I'm limping with JJ to see a safe flop, first ...

"If you're going to fold to a re-raise, then why not limp"

That's such bad logic.

Yeah i got confused as well, it's like raising queens UTG and saying you wouldn't fold to reraise, a call and then another reraise.

What do you think about the jacks then wiggs?
