Me likey push.

My gut is push, but I voted for call. I think, if I could change my vote now, I would.

There are few flops you like, and you will most likely be 'calling' all of your chips off instead of 'betting' them when the betting gets to you.

JQs is a 'GREAT' hand hot and cold. It beats a huge range of calling hands during a showdown and will fold an even wider range if you push. Therefore pushing is the correct option. With this hand you want to see all 5 cards. Just seeing the flop will make you fold unreasonably too often.
