Normally play $100 full on Party, but tonight I took $280 to 6max and and decided to play around a bit.

Villain is weak tightish, but when he has a monster he can't wait to get his money in.

Perfect river. There's no way I'm checking down and admitting defeat now, so I decide to shove my last $60 in and pray...

BB checks, Hero calls $67.38 (All-In), BB folds!!

Final Pot: $447.38

Results in white below: 
Hero has 9s 7s (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins $447.38. 

I showed the hand. Villain didn't say what he had, I'm guessing AQ?.

Is there any merit to this play or am I playing above my skill level? How about if I had $150 or so left on the river?

About 10 hands later (with more donkish play from me), this hand came up:

Converter screwed up the pot size for some reason.

Did I get lucky or is this a legitimate move with a bad table image?
