ok, i've never busted out in a sit n go so early before. this time i busted out before the first orbit. was this completely stupid? should i shut 'er down for the night?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed)

UTG+1 (t1000)
MP1 (t1380)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1470)
CO (t1030)
Hero (t1470)
SB (t1820)
BB (t2330)
UTG (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero raises to t80, SB calls t70, BB calls t60.

i figured they called because they thought i was on a steal. nonetheless, i should proceed with caution, but...

Flop: (t240) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t200, SB calls t200, BB folds.

i thought this flop was pretty. not ideal, but fairly nice.

Turn: (t640) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t1190 (All-In), SB calls t1190.

what the hell does this guy have? i'll go all-in and put him to the test early.

River: (t3020) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t3020
Main Pot: t3020 (t3020), between Hero and SB. > Pot won by SB (t3020).

Results in white below: 
SB has As Ac (two pair, aces and fives).
Hero has Jd Jc (two pair, jacks and fives).
Outcome: SB wins t3020.

What's the deal? You were beat by a lot of hands. Were you that confident you were ahead with an overcard on the board?

no i think i was just being a total fool. but i figured even if i was beat he would lay down a lot of hands that would be beating me.

overall i wasn't happy with my play. totally not my style at all. usually i'm very tight early on.

i just wanted some confirmation that it was indeed a bad play, because there's still some part of me that says it wasn't out and out horrible. but if it really was, i want to know that to avoid this kind of crap in the future.

They can't take your chips from you, you can only give them away.

What did you put him on after the check call on the flop? A weak Q? If so, I don't think I have to tell you that on low limits (you didn't specify) they're not laying that down 80-90% of the time.

If he's got mid or low pair, you have him, so maybe a small value bet would be in order.

Some sort of draw is the most likely holding, but still, why push? If he's drawing keep him in there. There are no hands that will call that large a bet bet that you don't already have crushed.
