This only happened because they both decided to play for stacks.
You've spent 2bb - fold and retain you're equity. Or call and lose $50 on average cause you "play for first". Start to mess with the stack distributions a bit (e.g., we have less, shorties have more, we cover BB, etc), and calling starts to do better.
Edit: nice fold op (irrespective of his holding or the flop)
I think I got out easy because SB jammed and BB re-jammed, which allowed me to assign BB with a tighter range.
If SB folded and BB 3bet, obviously it's a easy ship for us.
But if BB just jam, I would really have a hard time not snapping Jacks here
