SB is 12/2 over 1000+ hands and has a flop agression of 1.3.
BB is a short stack that has just sat down a few hands ago.

Full Tilt - $0.10 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

MP: $10.25
MP+1: $18.07
LP: $1.85
Hero (CO): $12.22
BTN: $9.70
SB: $11.02
BB: $1.20
UTG: $6.29
UTG+1: $10.00

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has J

UTG calls $0.10, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.40, fold, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30, UTG calls $0.30

Flop: ($1.60, 4 players) 8

SB checks, BB bets $0.80 and is all-in, fold, Hero?

It feels like a trivial call vs the BB, but the SB is yet to act - I'm definately carrying on, but wondering how best to proceed with the SB in mind. With 2 overs and the nut flush draw, would you call or reraise, and if so, how much?

I would probably just call. You don't really want to force the sb out of the pot, but I can't really see you having great equity if you raise and the sb c/shoves on you.

If the sb raises you, its probably a fold too, especially since he's so nitty.

Pretty easy call and pretty easy laydown if he raises you.

My uncertainty was between a call and a raise. My hand has some strength, but vs a raise from a villain this tight I figured I'd have to dismiss the overcards as outs and just rely on the flush draw when deciding on my next move.

I dont think a 12/2 will give us a hard time here so calling and playing the hand IP with two overs and the nut flush draw seems fine. He will fold a lot on the flop anyways.
