Hand is from Sunday Storm 11$. Villain was a little bit tight so i was afraid that he can have overpair already on preflop, thats why i only called his reraise. But i wasnt sure what to do on postflop as I got 3 lower cards. After flop i thought that he can have some flushdraw or two overcards and backdoor flush draw (like AdKs) and that why he made a bet so I decided to go all-in. Did I play it right or not? How you would play it?

If you said that the BB is tight with 3betting it’s not bad to fold JJ here. Otherwise I would most likely shove right away for 80bb effective. As played you are in best case you are up against TT and AK and I don’t think you will get action of those hands if you shove.
Except if he had A♦:K♦:. I would most likely call the flop and if he’s firing again I would fold against a tight player.

Why you raise flop? You could have just called , He raise you on the preflop , it already shows that he has something good in hand. Although he put the half of the pot in the flop, then I think it would have been just right to call and see what he is doing in the turn. If he bet big in the turn, easy fold. But if he check turn then I would have go AI.
