The reason I ask is because there were some comments from two other players after the hand.

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

BB (t4735)
UTG (t715)
Button (t2610)
Hero (t1940)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t4735 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t1340 (All-In).

Flop: (t6675) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t6675) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t6675) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t6675

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has 3d Ad (high card, ace).
Hero has Jc Ah (high card, ace).
Outcome: Hero wins t3880. BB wins t2795. </font>

Well, it's not a bad beat post, so congrats on that, but nah, I think you should just push preflop.

I would never make this call preflop.
Your raise is fine to steal his blind, but unless you know for a fact that this a resteal i would fold to his push.
This is too easy of a dominated hand and he looks like his is not scared, in my mind i would think coinflip at best.
YOur lucky BB is a donk...

i forgot, look at UTG's chipstack, wait it out, even if you fold you still have him covered and you are button next hand.

If I was going to play this hand I would have just moved all-in PF. If your going to commit to this hand either way, by moving all-in PF 1st, or by the way you played, playing it the way you played could have some merit. It may convince your opponent that you are scared of being eliminated before the short stack is eliminated, so he pushes, expecting you to fold. Instead you call with the best hand. In most cases though I would just move all-in. This puts the maximum pressure on him. You do not want to get eliminated before the shortstack, but you likely have the best hand, maybe some people will suggest playing more conservatively, that may be a little bit better play.

He still has enough to cover the blinds and a single double-up puts him right up to the OP's chip stack. AJ is too good here, but this is fancy play all this min-raise then call a push - if you are going to do that - push first. Easy.
