I'm fairly new to SnG's, and mostly trying to work on my basic strategy, so perhaps I shouldn't be trying to get tricky yet, until I really know what I'm doing. Anyways, Party $20+2 hand:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (9 handed) converter

Button (t755)
Hero (t1620)
BB (t800)
UTG (t800)
UTG+1 (t345)
MP1 (t770)
MP2 (t630)
MP3 (t1120)
CO (t1160)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
6 folds, Button calls t15, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t45) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t40, Button calls t40, Hero calls t40.

Turn: (t165) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t40, Button folds, Hero raises to t150, BB calls t110.

River: (t465) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t200, BB calls t200.

Final Pot: t865

Results in white below: 
Hero has Jd Jc (full house, jacks full of sevens).
BB has Ac 2s (two pair, aces and sevens).
Outcome: Hero wins t865. 

I'll explain my line of thinking here. The blinds were so small that they really weren't worth picking up if the two players folded to my raise. By not raising, it adds some deception to my hand (yes I know that is a poor argument, and has been discussed often). However, if I did raise 3-4x BB, I'm fairly confident that both of these players would have called with a weak K or A. So all it would really eliminate is a weak Q drawing out on me or some low two pair. So what do you think? Good/acceptable play and it worked out well? Bad play, and I just happen to get lucky this time? Comments on the other streets?
