Default Did I screw up or make a good laydown?

Very first hand of my SNG so no revelant reads...

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

Button (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t80, CO folds.

Flop: (t240) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t170</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t640</font>, Hero calls t470.

Turn: (t1520) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t760 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

I'm thinking I possibly should have pushed on the flop, but his raise seemed weird to me. Is folding too weak here? I figured I'd call him down hoping he'd keep betting KQ or AK, but the Q made me think the only hand I could possibly be ahead of was AK.

I'd call the all in on the turn, you are pot stuck and you have outs to a better two pair than villaim may have.

But yah, push back him on the flop and if he has a set or KJ you bust. It sucks and it happens but at lower limits youll stack off to many ppl to fold AA with action HU.

I don't think I'm committed against 2 pair... this is a Stars $55 so the stacks are pretty deep. What hands do you put my opponent on so that a turn call is profitable?

3 bet the flop if you plan on laying this down at any point.

Easy, easy call.

I'd rather get my money in as a likely favorite on the flop, so I am probably pushing there as opposed to the tough decision you now have. And I'm probably still not making the laydown on the turn.
