Calling Bold Bluffs/Folding Painted Pairs

I've been raising this player off quite a few hands already tonight as he was trying to see cheap flops and raising with marginal hands. Here, I felt he took a stand to play against me here, and with check-calling I was trying to represent an AK, AQ to get him to continue to bet and try to push me out the pot.

I knew these pocket J's were no good w/ a raise, call and re-raise w/ two more players to act if I call or raise here, so I mucked.

There was another pair I had on another table - QQ - and I raised to $1.40 at .10/.25 w/ 9 people UTG. Third to act raised to $8, I thought about it and folded as I had about $23 and he had around the same. It looked like a small pair, but a disguised AA or KK was very possible here. Calling was a possibility, but I wasn't comfortable re-raising as I would of been pot committed, for I didn't want to get it all-in here. (Ed Miller has an article entitled "On Getting Stacked" where he talks about getting it all-in w/ AA, KK, QQ or whatever, and you shouldn't feel bad about it as this most of the time is the correct play. Although the player in his example had 44 BB, in this situation I had 92 BB and felt it was more of a gamble.)
