The blind defense is fine, you are suited and getting 4 to 1.
I would lead out 600-1000 on the flop. The bet is for information, to make my decision easier for that street, and even the next. I think you get more information when you lead out with a moderate hand like this because if you face heavy resistance, you can come to more conclusions to fold (unless you have a read on the donk).
Plus when playing the J5s, I'm not looking to flop, and go broke, on top pair...........especially on a dangerous board that posseses redraws (unless you flopped top pair and a flush draw yourself, then you can make the argument to gambol based on your goals for the tournament). But with just a Jack and no kicker, on that board, even hands you beat that are in his range in LP like AQ/QT-Q9/T8-89, have plenty of outs to beat you, and I'd be more inclined to pitch just top pair and no redraw/kicker facing a big raise on that board with my tourney life on the line. With the bubble coming up, you can get good steal equity spots to get back the chips you lose in this hand as well.
Also make sure you take notes on the villain that he gheybet in late position and pot bet the nuts on the flop. It will definitely help your reads if you get in any hands down the road with him.
