Now what? Well JJ have been the death of me for so long, I get so frustrated with them, that I tend to lay them down when I shouldn't and push when I shouldn't. I would say lay it down. Someone has a set.

I would of re raised with JJ or fold pre flop here. No need to take any risks so early on.

james you absolutely contradicted the way you played your pocket Q's in the post you made 4 posts ago. You went all in on a similar flop, when you had q's.

I fold this. It's still early in the tourney and there's no need to get your whole stack in with a hand that is very likely to be dominated. Only hands he might have that you beat are TT and maybe A9.
As far as leading out goes, I like it but I bet smaller. The pot is about $400 right? I go for $300 here and fold to a raise.
btw I don't mind flat calling with JJ preflop. When it's still early I like to play them for set value alot of the time. I don't want to repop, get called and end up with a decision for all my chips with a marginal hand.For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

He raised PF, then CR AI on a flop where clearly there is nothing scaring him?
I say QQ or AK. But I still fold because there's no need to go busto so early when you could be dominated.BOSS

I basically agree with what david said. 3/4 pot bet is good, then fold to his push.
