Lol.
Doomdy is right, be glad you made the right call, you can't play scared of the rare huge hands. It's unlucky, but's that's all it is, given the same circumstances do it every time and you'll come out profitable. Hopefully you'll catch your Jack next time.

While i hate pocket jacks at that stage of the game i would have done exactly the same thing. With 30 more places to go to be in the money, it was definitely the right move. Better luck next time.

I always have to have that gut feeling if I play pocket jacks, that is allin. I generally prefer to see the flop with jj and qq just because of being burnt to many times. It's just like getting KK opening hand in a game and someone goes allin. They generally have an A and the flop usually supports this on opening hand.
