$1k SNG Hand - Opinions?

We are down to 4, with one stack lower than me, but not by a lot. He is also very aggressive against stealers, making it harder for me to steal through. Big stack hand certienly opened up his game raising the last 3 pots. What would you do here:

Converter not working for some reason, so here goes:

TheWombat (4128 in chips)
Seat 3: serb2127 (1525 in chips)
Seat 6: Fanning (5712 in chips)
Seat 9: Chief911 (2135 in chips)

I'm on the button with JJ. Blinds are 75/150. Fanning open-raises to 450. Hero....

...slams his stack in. Nothing else merits serious consideration - you can't call off a quarter of your stack and you can't fold JJ to someone who raised the last 3 hands in a row.

You lucky bastard being able to play in 1k sitngos with Wombat and fanning.

Ok. This was not intended to be a bad beat post, because it is not. My only consideration here was worth taking the risk before the small stack might bust.

Results:

Fanning calls, and flips over AKo.

Flop is full of rags, turn is a Q, river is an ugly K.

So no one feels that you migth fold this here considering stack sizes (And I'm not implying I think it is correct, I just want a nice checkup)?

I think you need to push.

Gotta play for first. Also, like you said, his stack is not much smaller than yours so its not like he's busting out in the next couple of hands. If he had under 1000, I'd think about folding.

Where can you play 1K sng's?

I'd stop and go. I know a lot of players dont like seeing flops in the late stages of SNGs, but if he has a hand and is going to hit an ace on the flop, I'd prefer to know... especially with a hand like JJ which is either going to be very weak or very strong after the flop. I'm not liking the coinflip against any two overcards, I need to see if I'm going to win, and my call is going to make him squirm in his chair (the reraise could be anything decent or even sometimes junk, the call is definitely a starting hand to be worried about).
