I always throw about 1/3 of the pot out there even with overcards. Use your bet to feel out your opponents hand, and also pay attention to his style of play. With JJ, you gotta be careful, but remember, they are still a pocket pair. Hard hand to play. Don't be silly with them. I always say to myself, play them like I'd play pocket 9's or 8's. Be cautious, but don't just give up on them when an A or K comes out.

i usually will play jacks agressively preflop, if everyone folds then i win blinds. However, if 1 or 2 people call, i'll wait for flop, if flop comes and theres nothing higher than jacks, then you bet real aggressive. thats my strategy at least.

Yep.. I had JJ today in the freeroll, 8 - 4 - 2 came up. A guy pushed all-in, and I called.
He turned over 8-4 and the next 2 cards, turn and river were J and guess what? Jack. 4 of a kind... It was the greatest outcome with Pocket JJ that I've ever had :)

Serves him right for playing 8-4 when I raised preflop.
