Important stacks Mackthefork 2850 SB 3100
I have A J and i make it 450 to go
(I know this is small but I wanted calls from weaker aces, that was my thinking anyways)

You don't want callers here. You should go for the T600 and try and take it down right there. Or some would say you should fold, I wouldn't be willing to argue against them without being at the table.

All fold to SB who calls, BB folds also (pot is now 1300 and I have it heads up)

The SB should have bet before the flop, and considering stack sizes, he should probably have pushed.

SB Checks, I push in my remaining 2400, he calls immediately and shows A K

Why not take the free card here? There is really no need to push. This was a leak I used to have. Under FTOP he is making a mistake if he gives you the free card, but that means you have to take it!
You are *not* ahead when you push, in fact you are quite a long way behind (u win 40%).

So in all I think you need to check your own game a bit. There are a fair few mistakes on both sides. But to answer your question I think he could have defended his hand in the obvious way - bet it.
Just my thoughts
