Default AJo in BB against steal-raise

First orbit in a $100 Texas NL multi at Pokerstars.

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

MP2 (t1400)
MP3 (t1400)
CO (t1470)
Button (t1690)
SB (t1460)
Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1580)
MP1 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
all folds until, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t100</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t80.

Flop: (t210) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets t180</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t390

Did I play this like a *beep*? I wanted to re-raise but how much..I have no read so he actually can have a hand and I could go out. Should I just muck it? I know that even if I hit an ace I could be in trouble.

What should you do?

Thx

I actually would put him on a steal raise, as I often see people trying to steal on the internet when the blinds are insignificant. However, that doesn't mean you played it incorrectly. There's no need to lose a lot of chips in this insignificant pot. It's so early in the tournament, you're probably going to find many better spots to get many more chips.
