more importantly is, why didn't SB come over the top?

The strategy of just coming over the top of anyone who has less chips than you on the bubble, is very overrated. I wouldn't raise without a good hand as the SB...the risk is too high in a world where people may call with something like 55.

Well, couldn't you argue that your hand has far too much value to do a stop n go here? Specifically, don't you want him to call with a hand like 55 or KQ? You need to double up here.

God no. You'll take having 1700ish every time than having to go 60/40 or 50/50 for 2500ish.
