Everyone checked turn. The only hands where the J suddenly makes them get bold are slow played sets who suddenly fear draws, 2 of those sets stack you, 2 gut shot made str8s which stack you short of a boat, several 2P which should be smart enough to fold, FDs which you might get V1 to fold but not V2 due to their stack sizes and current level of committed chips, or best case a OESD which V1 might fold but V2 will crying call.
So I think you'll get a few worse hands to fold, you're close to even with the drawing hands, and you're behind a few hands.
I'm not smart enough to Calc those odds on the fly but it's close enough that you usually need to make your boat to win. I'm going to guess you're about 33% to win where the set holds or the boat beats a straight or flush. If both Vs GII with you, their stacks make your pay off close but not quite good enough vs the risk.
Conversely, if you call and they are on straights or flushes and you and one or two Vs make their hands, you're going to get paid on a risk free river bet.
If someone is ambitious enough to do the math on all this, I would love to see how my gut stacks up to the real numbers.
No one 3bet pre, so QQ and KK aren't really likely.
Call and jam both seem fine. If you jam, you can still get called by KQ, 77, and it is nice to deny equity to draws. More than half the deck are either bad for your hand or action killing. On the other hand, if you call, you get action from more worse hands, and you are in position, so get get more moneyfrom the rivef. And if you had a hand like AhKH, KhTh, you probably want to call. Calling is nice to protect your calling range and give you some nut runouts when the board pairs.
