Default Bad push or bad call?

Been having a bad run on SNGs lately. Am looking for some feedback on some of my questionable plays. Blinds are 150/300, 4 players. Folded to me in the SB, I push with A-2, called by A-5 which holds up.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

BB <font color="#A500AF">(Villain)</font> (t1140)
UTG (t3695)
Button (t1905)
Hero (t1260)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1260 (All-In)</font>, BB <font color="#A500AF">(Villain)</font> calls t840 (All-In).

Flop: (t2400) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t2400) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t2400) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2400

Given that we were both about even stacks, I thought that would give me some folding equity. On the other hand, he's got to call $840 to win $1,600 so getting 2:1 he's got pretty good odds to call. Anyone think pushing with A-2 here is clearly wrong? Given the calling odds he's got do I need to wait for a better hand? How about BB calling with A-5? I like my push better than his call, but am interested in any other players thoughts.
