You have an M of 40 when this hand begins. When your M is this high, the only pairs that have any value PF other than set value (IMO) are AA and KK (I would add QQ in this specific situation).
I'd flat call every time, and would go all in on a paired flop given it was the button who raised. I think most times this play would result in you stacking the button, but obviously you will take a bad beat now and again (welcome to variance) and on rare occasion find yourself up against a bigger pair.
JJ is a "play for set value only" hand if anyone earlier than the CO raises. If my M was more in the lower 20s, I start pushing undercard flops with JJ (and eventually TT as well) against anyone other than an UTG or UTG+1 raise. Once my M dips below 20, I'm playing JJ for full pair value by reraising PF (likely all in here hoping I'm a 70/30 favorite).
If you had AA/KK/QQ in this situation, I'd just reraise all in PF as fast as possible and hope he's got 1/2 a hand. Obviously he likely folds here, but a lot of players with an A or KQ/KJ/KT or pair would call you here and you'd be a huge favorite to wipe them out.
If it's AK/AQ/AJ, I flat call and hope to hit top pair. If I do, I'm all in on the flop.
