If you are playing within your bankroll, this shouldn't be a problem. You will win in the long run. And remember, even though your JJ is a good hand, when all in pre flop with 5 cards to come, it is only about a 2:1 favorite to win i believe.
However, going all in with hands like JJ and 10 10 isn't always the best idea. If it is being 3-bet or even 4-bet pre flop it is usually best to just call and see a flop. Then if it comes AK7 you can get out. Also, when it is 3-bet pre flop, hands like JJ are often dominated by a higher pocket pair, or at best a coin flip vs AK or something. Notice AOK's rule of contested pots. JJ is a good hand but the more raising that is going on the odds are higher that someone has a better hand.
