Is this a SNG where 3 spots pay?

I would shove over the top here - I actually think it is a snap-shove to isolate shortie. You aren't in such great shape where you are guaranteed a cash, and JJ is a monster with under 15 bbs. Further, you do want to get folds from the big stack when he has hands like AT, QJ, etc., which could easily be in his limping-range.

"UTG was a pretty tight player...guess I should have posted that."

This is why I'd shove. Your read on him is that he's tight. You have a very good chance of getting him to fold. It gets much more difficult if he's a calling station. Perhaps others would still shove, I probably would, but would hate myself when dingbat called with with 67o and hit 2 pair.

There were many posibilities that could have hurt your bankroll.

This is why I always fold pre-flop. Too many dang possibilities.

A flush or a straight was imminent.

With 5 cards to come, never truer words spoken.

It would be great to know what the other 2 had.
