Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t1925)
Button (t470)
Hero (t2780)
BB (t2825)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t400</font>, BB calls t200.

Flop: (t800) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t800</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t2425 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

BB has been playing a reasonably solid game. He could have top pair or a set, he may be on tilt since I won about t1300 from him the previous hand when my JJ beat his 99 or he could be gambling that I'll play it safe and fold and wait for the small stack to be eliminated. So, do you fold and wait for the short stack to be eliminated or do you risk it all and go for the gold?

I would have raised more preflop (600-700) and then I would have moved allin on the flop.

I know my preflop raise was weak. I have to break my lazy habit of pushing the raise button.
