I think you're deep enough and your hand is strong enough that you can minraise here and just get it in to any further preflop action. Could have minraised the JJ too. But I never hate jamming unpaired hands preflop on <15BB.
Kinda depends on how your table is playing. Jamming is better if you're going to be flatted with a bunch of speculative hands by in-position players. If someone is likely to put in a 3-bet to test how strong you are, then opening and preparing to 4-bet shove is better.
I do struggle in these spots postflop when I miss, though, so advice on how to handle that may be better coming from someone who doesn't.
