This hand was crucial for my SNG and the real decision was taken on the turn. It later shows that my decision costed me the tournament, but was it a bad decision?

My conclussion: I went allin on turn, even though I could be satisfied with just calling the t200. I didn't put him on any flush or straight draw, otherwise I would only have called at the turn, since I did not have the nut flush/straight draw.
OK so I had 15outs allready at the flop, after missing at turn I was pretty sure I was gonna hit it at river, so why not make him pay allready, when he might not pay if river shows a /images/graemlins/diamond.gif ?
I calculated the odds before going allin:
15 outs. 52 - 6 = 46. 46 - 15 = 31. 15/31 = allmost 1/2 (50%). Did I calculate my odds right? If I had allmost 50% chance to hit my winning hand, was it then a good move to go allin or should I just have called? (Forget how the result in this actual situation turned out, but think in long terms of proffit).
EDIT/UPDATE: OK I see that I calculated the odds wrong. The result of 15/46 is just how many bad cards I CANNOT hit in order to win the hand. So I should just say 15/46 instead, giving the result of about 33%... Still i'd like to hear how you would have played this hand.
