Default New to SNGs, how\'s this play?

I play a lot of low limit full ring so I'm not familiar with shorthanded situations with big blinds and a top 3 payout schedule.

Anyway, was this too risky? (Note the BB's stack)

Party Poker Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind t300 (6 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>

<font color="C00000">SB (t155)</font>
BB (t2942)
UTG (t910)
MP (t1750)
<font color="C00000">Hero (t1020)</font>
Button (t1223)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t5 (All-In), <font color="666666">1 fold</font>.

Easy call.

(Edit: as a side note, do you think the SB has you marked to be tight/weak?)

Easy push. 3x BB is pretty desperate, and you got to push anything decent in CO.

Does the SB's read really matter here? He's calling with any two. I assume you meant the BB and I would also act according to a read here and your image.

Interesting situation. According to http://www.gocee.com/poker/HE_Val_Sort.htm you win 58% of the time vs SB's random hand with QJo. SB's equity in the pot is therefore 195 chips. So your steal raise is stealing, on average, 250 chips.

I think that's worth it at this stage of the tourney. You need those chips or you're going to be in deep trouble when the blinds hit.

Limit/NL doesn't matter to your opponent at this point, but makes my question even more important.

Yes, 2x, 3x, no difference. But why is SB's read important?
