Too Cute with JJ?  2-5nl Too Cute with JJ?  2-5nl

2-5nl, game is playing fairly bipolar, with some hands getting chopped or taken down preflop, and some flops going 8 ways to the flop, but very little 3 betting preflop. I have a fairly solid image though may be perceived as being on tilt as I've lost some medium sized pots recently that did not go to showdown.

I have 240 to start the hand, everyone else covers.

UTG makes it 20. He has been playing VERY tight, so this is big time strength, so I didn't want to 3 bet, so I call with JJ UTG+1, 4 more callers, so 6 people seeing the flop.

Pot is around 120

Flop is 1062

Checked to me. I see my neighbor grabbing chips, so I check. UTG+2 (young guy, been playing loose and aggressive) bets 75, folded to button who makes it 200 (with about 150 behind after that, he's been playing fairly snug, but I've seen him make moves in the past), folded back to me, I push.

Thoughts on both streets appreciated.

Preflop flat is fine although I'd probably three bet it looking to get it in with under 50bb.

Similarly on the flop getting it in here with a PSR <2 with your short stack isn't terrible, even though the action before you dictates that you may be beat.

Is button capable of blasting off with JT+ or a spade draw here?
