Default A successful Stop & Go

With so little going right for me poker-wise over the week-end, I thought I would post a succesful stop & go hand.

Did I just get lucky, or was this good play?

The set-up Struggling in satellite, made a couple of lay downs that cost me big chunk of stack. I think I showed one hand all tourney, but that doesn't matter, as I am new to this table (1st few hands), so no reads etc. I'm down to about 5.5 BB with the blind levels at 50/100 before posting the SB.

Either me or the converter is kaput...

Two in, limped around to me. Pretty weak. Being so out stacked by the limpers, I figure someone would call an all-in. I call with the intention of pushing any flop. I would fold to a PF raise by the BB.

Hero (SB) calls [50].

A dangerous looking flop that looks perfect for a SB limper. I figure only a real hand can call me. Even Ax (without a high heart) may let go, as I do still have so folding equity, and the flop is scary...

Hero (SB) is all-In.
BB folds.
MP2 folds.

Well, it worked, so the play wasn't terrible. What do you think, too aggressive, or the right time for this?
