Default 2/4 He cold-calls my re-raise?

Villain is the same guy from the AQ hand; 36/17 and pretty aggro.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $394
UTG+1: $824.80
CO: $773
Hero: $595.80
SB: $543
BB: $427.45

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to $14</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $45</font>, SB calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($108, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $105</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $275</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $170 returned to SB.

Results:
Final pot: $318

I have no idea what the cold-call means. Even a doofus has to be strong here, right? He has about 240 behind, so I'm getting a little worse than 2:1 to show down.

Eh? What's going to stop him from getting the money in with a bluff / pair on the next too streets if we check?

I'd rather call a turn bet and fold river than OP's line. CCs are pretty scary to a 3bet and JJ is very marginal vs them

Yikes. In my opinion you bet the flop to define your hand. He showed nothing but strength during this hand (probably the exact same line he would take with AA), and got smacked in the face with aggression back.

You check the flop, he bets, you call. Then the turn comes a K. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Weeeeee.

I have been checking a lot of flops when I 3-bet lately, but in this situation a would bet. Mainly because I am OOP, and any overcard is a scare card for me. If I had AA, KK, or QQ here I don't mind a check so much because I think it actually adds to our chance of stacking him, and protects me for times when I have AQ and check here. With JJ though, I think it just makes it too hard to play, so much so that it lowers your expected value here.
