Re: Strange push?
Flush draw/Jack with less than top pair. Call. SB is betting that way, b/c he knows if you don't have a Queen or a ten, you're probably not going to call, and he wins 600 chips. Even if you do call, he can still has a decent chance to outdraw you.
The fact that this is the 2nd place player you're in the pot with, makes calling even more attractive IMO. I'd probably call with 2nd pair here even. If you win this pot, you have about 3,000 and SB is down to about 1,000, giving you a great chance to get HU to play for the win.
If you fold this hand, you're going to be down to about 1,100 after paying the SB next hand. You may have to make some pushes with total, complete crap, so...this looks like a MUCH better spot to get your money in - especially against the 2nd place stack.
