Well that's one way to play them that might be successful some of the time...
but realistically you should consider all the factors at the table before you leap in. What is your position in the hand,is it a cash game or a tourney, how big is your stack, how big are your opponents stacks, has anybody raised before you act, how much has he raised, how many times has he been raising, what is he generally raising on, is he an aggressive player who might raise on lesser hands than a JJ, is he a tight player who might only raise on better hands than a JJ, how many players are there to play after you have made your allin bet, how many of these might call you and what would there range of hands be when they call i.e if somebody does call you, do you think you will be ahead with JJ? If it's a tourney- what stage of the tourney are you at? Is it the beginning of a tourney or is it later on when you might be in need of chips or be trying to cash. How tight/loose have you been during the game - If you raise allin- what does that represent to the table?... etc, etc
There isn't any answer to your question but if you post some example hand histories when you held JJ then I know you will get lots of advice from members who are better at these things than I am.
In short, if you decide to raise allin with JJ regardless of position and circumstances then in most cases you'll win a small pot when everybody folds - or in most and the worst cases, you'll get a call from a hand that your either 50/50 against or you'll be a big underdog to a premuim hand.
