Man, I hate it when I watch a guy get lucky on a bad bluff once and then sniff it out a second time and get a totally unexpected caller behind me. "Narana" made the exact same play with two suited cards earlier against another player and I had him down for exactly the same hand again. DAMN... what a waste of a beautiful read, although I guess you could say that "Diamonds444" made the exact same read with a better hand. Ugh.

In my opinion, a large raise would've won that pot preflop, and nearly doubled you up.
You have 1160 in chips (the short stack). You're in the 4th level with 100/200 blinds. That means your M is only 3.8 (1160/300). This is move-in time for you.
You're the short stack at the table, and you have JJ in the SB in a multi-way pot in which no one has shown strength of any kind.
Before your call, the pot was 900 (enough to nearly double you up).
In my experience, you don't want to see flops with a hand like JJ. And more importantly, you don't want to see multi-way flops. Your odds of winning a 5 handed pot with JJ are pretty slim. Especially when an Ace or a King comes on the board.
You have to assume that some idiots will call an all-in bet with Ax, which is exactly what happened here.
If you move in pre-flop I doubt that A8 is calling, but even if he does, you're getting your money in good.
The 67 wont call.
You could've finished that hand with over 2,000 in chips.
