2-4 cash game both with approx $400

I raise to 12 from mid position with JJ. Button reraises to 48. i have no real read on the guy but heres the problem

I dont want to build a massive pot preflop with JJ out of position, The button could have QQ KK AA or could take it off me on the flop. JJ does not justify a pot of the one that could potentially build here

I feel i need to flop a set to continue and so my JJ might just as well be 22 here. Ive only put 12 into the pot and on a low flop, i might get married to the hand and lose my whole stack. I decided that although the button could have trash, he could probably take my chips. I folded to his raise and waited for a better spot.

Could i, should i have played this different.

A reraise preflop by me would bring in pot commitment issues on the flop
A flat call would prob be a mistake

What would u do?

Is this Full ring or 6 handed?

Button can reraise with any 2 if he knows you're in the habit of folding JJ here. I three bet here a lot..or might even flat call and then take it from him on the flop (assuming the flop is not too scary)..unless I have a read I don't fold here...though I'm told that Full ring cash games are nitfests these days. I understand JJ is a tricky hand to play but folding here seems too weak to me.

Full handed makes this a little harder. You kinda need to know what your opponent is like too.

It's pretty rare for me to fold JJ preflop as I like to gamble a bit.

If you don't have a clue what the button is like, then a fold isn't TOO bad but it's going to cost you money if you fold here everytime. If the button has a high frequency of 3 betting then I am so getting it in with jacks.
