Okay, I have to be more carefully in future with this hand and have to keep in mind in which situation/game I get this hand. Thanks to jess to remind me on this that the situation is very important.

Here's some interesting info regarding pocket pairs and the chances of seeing over cards on the flop: I cut this from wiki - but its a table - with probability and odds for there being NO over cards at each point giving a certain PP.
So you can see here - if you hold JJ there is ONLY a 43% chance of there NOT being an overcard on the flop - so more often than not - you're going to see a scare card. And by the river - the chances of there still being nothing higher than a J are only23%
