i would have raised the first time it got to me and should have clarified that.
if i'm willing to go all the way with a hand which in this case i am, then unless i'm trapping a monster, i want fold equity as well.
you can fold out hands with better flush draws (especially just the king high draw) at these stack depths which really increases your equity in the hand by doing this.you can also force out top 2/bottom set type hands that still have decent equity against you. occasionally you run into top set/nut flush combo hands which blows but overall i think fold equity when they don't have that specific hand outweighs the occasional time when you're just up against it.even if your opponent specifically has top set and the nut flush draw you still have 37% equity which while not good isn't a total disaster.the absolute disaster is higher flush draw, same (or better) straight draw and overpair/set. but having 2 jacks in your hands mitigates that somewhat.
if you played this hand like the op then i guess calling the raise to 1200 and fold to board pairing turns is ok. obviously if you call the raise to 1200 and the turn is a brick you have to call the rest off as well.
against his opponents specific hand, raising before it got to him wouldn't have mattered one bit, but against their overall ranges you could put them in some really tough spots by raising first.
