Why are you raising in the first place with JTo here?
Also your sizing is crappy, because you pretty much committing yourself against the BB with a weak hand.

hmm I'd fold here, if you raise it's a raise / fold and I'd raise between 4200 and 5000 chips max (and only that much because of been OOP) .
you would only raise with JT if you have a read that BTN steals to often (and therefore likely to fold) and that BB is tight and therefore unlikely to reraise you. It is a very weak hand and you dont want to commit 17bb preflop with it when you still have a stack that you can play with.

correction: I just saw that BTN just limped in. in that case in SB I might just complete / fold.

I think all in all:

fold or complete is not far off and probably arguable > raise (unless you have reads) >>>> shove

if you have good reads then a raise can be the best option

Thanks for the advice guys. BTN pretty much always folded when he was facing aggression, which I think was the reason why I thought (at that moment) that a re-steal would be good, but yeah I agree, shouldnt have done that :f_rolleyes:
