Default $50 NLTRN Responding to a big preflop reraise on early stages

Effective stack size is about 1500 chips (maximum). Blinds are 10/20.

I raise to 60 with JTs from button, villain reraises to 220, I call (1.75:1)?

The reasons I think calling would be good are that I'm in position, I have a beatiful drawing hand and I think middle sized pocket pairs are very likely (TT-88) so I might be actually ahead of some of those and TT is half as likely). I'm assuming villain is a typical $50s player and I probably have smallish post-flop edge besides on the positional advantage. What's your opinion? Which hands would you call with and what hands would you raise or shove? Why?

My range against a bad player is slightly tighter and changes in the first level with every relevant action. If he's 3-bet me 3x in the first level I'll open up a 4-bet range, if he hasn't done it over 15 hands I'll tighten up my calling/4-bet range. It's really very player dependent. If you're talking first hand, JTs isn't a bad hand to call with, but if you don't flop something very strong and the player is playing the hand very aggressive it's going to make postflop tough.
