If I had to do it over again at first I'd not do it but being that I know I got lucky and spiked a J on the Turn I would have to say I would do it again.
This is not really an +EV decision. Even though you spiked the J on the turn, in the long run - you are an 62/37% underdog in this situation. I maybe suggest using Pokerstove to calculate various preflop scenarios and finding out the equity with these hands. Start reading the articles on the main page regarding position etc. Also read that link JKDS posted.

I apprecaite the input and I'll be doing a lot more reading on here to help inprove my play. So just to clarify if I was in the right postion late in a tournament JT Suited would be an ok All in Call?
Even though you see it on TV shows, doesn't mean it is the correct play. What you should be thinking about is the equity of the hand preflop. (playing at micro stakes - you don't really need to play anything other than premium hands). Although, it can vary if the player is loose/donk.
The best advice I can give is:
1. Read articles on here and try to understand the concepts.
2. Use Pokerstove to go over certain scenarios preflop (go over your hand history and see if you are making +EV calls)
3. Use Holdem Manager, PokerTracker or something similar to keep stats, analyse opponents and review your own game.
4. Post hands you are unsure about or come to the iRC
