I think, JJ is to in between to raise on the flop here. When it goes donk, call, we are in a situation, where we are either far ahead or far behind with JJ, because as I said already, its pretty unlikely, BB donked out with just two overcards to the board and equally unlikely, that UTG called such hands with Hero - the preflop 3-bettor - still left to act behind him. "Raising for information" or as a sort of stop raise (to make them check the turn) seem to be an old school live poker play, and maybe it can have some merit in certain live games, but online I am not a fan of it.

The second hand in this 4 hand compilation is a good example of, why I dont like that kind of play. In a multiway pot Mike Matusow raise top pair bad kicker on the flop. And while it worked amazingly well on the flop getting a better hand to fold and a worse hands to call, it also set the stage for, what happened later. Because getting action Mike Matusow now liked his hand so little, that he not only checked back the turn but also folded, what was now the best hand to a river bet.
