I think your range is too tight, based on your reads given. Maybe you felt there was more to it than you put down in words. Couple of things:
1. You need to start adjusting your ranges for your opponents. JJ is in no way in my normal stackoff range, however against a 75/40 lagtard? Fist-pump stackoff preflop for sure.
2. Against guys like this, you need some gambool in your game. They're giving their money to somebody, so you gotta take a shot at taking it. An overpair here v's a guy like you've described is perfect.
3. You have a hand where this guy c/r'd a weak flush, so you should be discounting huge hands from his range here. Not totally, but enough to be happy calling here.
You (and the microstakes guys you talk about) need to move past thinking of this as a vulnerable hand. When you have a big hand against a juicy target, you gotta go with it. Sure you could be faced with the nuts here, but this is the hand you've been waiting for. If you wait for the actual nuts v's a guy like this someone else is going to take his stack before you get it. Definately think it through and do some ranges, but in the end you should be concluding that you're happy getting in here.
