Whats the right play here?

JJ, two ways to play these mate and there both wrong. Best case your in a race if you move all in over the top. You call and there"s bound to be an over card then you have another decision when the continuation bet comes. Dump the jacks. Brunson said once that folding is only a small mistake, pushing or calling could be a big one.

well he was right in the 1980s but things have moved on since then. Brunson probably hasn"t played in a pub league either.......

Marty, you come across as very sure of yourself. Dont get me wrong this is a good attitude to have in poker, recently i could do with a pinch of "sure of myself".
With regard to Doyle Brunson, I agree that folding the best hand in situations is a small mistake relative to pushing or calling when behind. Also Doyle hasnt been too far wrong for me at any stage of his career. Doyle isnt the sort of player that wasnt able to adapt his game over the 50 odd years hes been winning. 10 bracelets, millions in career earnings is a testiment to how "right" he has been.
Your comment seemed quite dismissive of this great player.

Getting back to the original question.
It really depends on your perspective, feel and gut instinct. If you feel the game is gonna be tough to win and therefore fancy an early gamble a push is fine, to pick up dead money or race with overcards. Alternatively, a fold is ok if you feel you have an edge in the game and can outplay your opponents. There is no absolute correct way to play this situation, and i wouldnt always play it the same way. There is a danger when thinking about situations in absolute terms ie. "I will always do this in this situation", that you become predictable and exploitable.
