Default Bubble Play - I put the small stack all-in

Should I have done this?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t2050)
BB (t1280)
UTG (t8290)
Button (t1880)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2000</font>, BB calls t630 (All-In).

Flop: (t2780) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t2780) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2780) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2780

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 5h Kd (one pair, tens).
BB has Kh Jc (straight, ace high).
Outcome: BB wins t1460. Hero wins t1320. </font>

5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a 52.6% favorite over random hands, a 42.4% dog to playable hands, and I think your fold equity is pretty thin. Muck and you have ~3xBB left. Tough when the huge stack is the BB to your button. Would really like to know how the button in this hand plays his blinds, because I think I let this one go and see what comes in the next two hands.

You're nuts. Fold equity is nonexistent, BB will play any hand, he has no choice in the matter, so 52.6% is the correct number to use. However your equity in the pot will be 1347 chips and you have to put 980 in the pot to play, so your return on investment in chip terms is nearly 150%. Plus you get to try and eliminate someone. I'll take that bet all day and night, even on the bubble. Plus the blinds are so huge that you don't really have a choice.

I will push knowing he is not going to fold. The sb you post is enough to pay the penalty on the bubble.
Anothe choice is call and push any flop. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
