Default PokerRoom 10+1. Smart Play or Donkey Play

Just wondering what you guys think about this. Do you think this was smart or way too aggressive.

Pokerroom 10+1. Here are the three relavent stacks in this hand.

Button 10,500.
SB (Hero) 5,800
BB 815.

200/400 Blinds with no ante.

I am in small blind with J8s.

Button (10,500) limps, Hero in Sb (5,6000) limps, BB raises all in for 815. Button thinks for a few seconds and calls. I raise all in for 5,600 out of small blind.

Fist off it was most likely a mistake to limp after the button limps with such a marginal hand with the small blind being so short. After I had already done that, The pot now contained 2430 and it was 400 for me to call. I know that now I cannot throw this hand away, but my thinking was that given the button's actions he most likely did not have a big hand and by raising I could isolate the BB. What do you guys think of this.
