OK I get a bit lucky and hit my 40%er, but after having my aces cracked by JTo and my AJ button semi-steal running into AA in the BB in my previous two SnGs I figure its my turn to get a bit lucky. The question is should I have put myself in that position in the first place.
5 handed 1 table SnG at Stars. I have a tight reputation, the truth being I hadn't seen many decent hands yet and have survived mostly through stealing the blinds.
The button had been constantly taking blinds from me until I raised him all-in the two orbits previous with AT, he folded the next steal attempt he got and then this hand happened.

Button (t2875)
Hero (t1908)
BB (t2855)
UTG (t2342)
MP1 (t3520)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, MP1 folds, Button raises to t1225, Hero raises to t1908 (All-In), BB folds, Button calls t1908.
Flop: (t3891) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t3891
He had A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
There was a chance that a) he might have folded to my all-in b) I had the better hand c) I hit my 40%er /images/graemlins/wink.gif Should I have gone all-in or waited to do some more stealing?
[bragging] I then went on to win, my 4th out of 11 $22er {/brag]
