Default Weak

I am ready to be flamed as weak, but I would like some feedback on something I did that I just felt uncertain about at the time.

2 table $10 SnG at Stars, 7 players at the table, blinds are T15/T30. I am in the small blind with T1425 as there has been nothing to play yet. CL T3370 in EP min raises to T60, all fold to the button who goes all in with T415. I put the CL on a big ace and the all-in button with either AK or a PP(leaned towards PP). I don't know if the CL will call or not. I figured I was only about a 33% favorite to win the 415 if I just called and the CL called, about a 75% favorite to win anything over the 415 if the CL called that excess. I thought about going all-in, but I try to avoid that early in the tourny especially with a raise and re-raise in front of me and I let it go. Was this too weak. Upon reflextion I think I should have raised all-in, since I had the button covered, would have had over 1K left and if the CL called and I only beat him I still would be ahead. The problem is I was uncertain at the time and when uncertain I tend to fold unless I am a big favorite. Reinforce my decision or flame away, I have asked for critism and personally I lean towards flaming myself.
