Depends on the hand range that you put him on - if he's tricky and would play AA/KK like this especially since you saw his earlier hand, then I fold the jacks as your equity is at 48% if AA-99, AK+. Of course it's worse, if you take out the 99/1010.If you can put him on a range of QQ-99, AK+, you're at 58% equity so I would make the call.It comes down to your read and how good it is.

You also need to take into account your position and the rest of the table. you have a lot of chips and if the table is soft then you might let this one go and keep running over the table without risk. but if the table is tough, and/or your read tells you that his range is wider then go ahead and make the call.

I think you will have the best hand here a fair amount of time, but even if he has AK, I wouldn't make the call, especially if you can run people over. A lot of inexperienced players like to play pairs 77-TT like this because their afraid of playing them after the flop, and don't want to "waste their pair."I really don't think most people are tricky enough to just shove with a big pair, but if he had shown otherwise then I would lay it down. Idk tough spot, usually the case with JJ.
