Default JJ on button, what do you do differently?

Initial raiser seems pretty abc, though still early so not much of a read. Do you play this any differently?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t1355)
Hero (t2795)
SB (t1305)
BB (t1925)
UTG (t4860)
UTG+1 (t1710)
MP1 (t3080)
MP2 (t2985)
MP3 (t1575)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t120</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t120, SB calls t105, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t90.

Flop: (t510) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t240</font>, SB calls t240, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t2960</font>, MP2 folds,

Hero folds

With JJ I dont mind a call on in position with JJ it conceals your hand and keeps the pot small. The problem is you cant rely on a raise this size keeping you out of a multi way pot. If the raise was more like 180-200 you can call with more expectation of playing the hand 2-3 handed. The precence of the limper also opens this up even more. I would raise here to isolate on the raiser. After that you can bet the flop confidently with a more defined hand. As played I fold. The all in is from an open limper I would put him on a set or a flush/str8 draw with a pair and your fold is fine.
