Default Questionable hand from SB

I got moved to this table 3 hands ago so no reads.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t2839)
MP2 (t3045)
CO (t11500)
Button (t6387)
Hero (t3225)
BB (t3695)
UTG (t2950)
UTG+1 (t1008)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, BB calls t300.

Flop: (t900) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t750</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t3245</font>, Hero calls t2025 (All-In).

He probably pops you back preflop with AA/KK/QQ.... I think this board is so ripe with potential for semibluffing hands that I think you can call here.

I dunno. Very tough spot. Your stack is exactly the right size to make this a hard decision to make.

i think folding there would be pretty bad. you're heads up with the BB - let the chips fly. he'll have K9 or JK or whatever plenty of times there. the backdoor flush draw makes it an easier call.

What do people think about raising more from the SB? Harrington suggests 5BB just to discourage the BB from playing back at you, or even calling, leaving you out of position post flop.

As it stands, yep, good play.
