Too rash?

My big leak has traditionally been waiting too long to get my chips in. Is this too soon?

CO (t1920)
Button (t810)
SB (t935)

UTG (t3560)
MP1 (t3795)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to t1205, 2 folds, SB calls t860 (All-In), 1 fold.

Flop: (t2290) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Well the two big stacks have folded, which is good. I think I still wait for a better hand though unless I'm on the button there.

Since two big stacks speak before you most of the time you are in a better position than other middle stacks. I would wait for better hand and/or position.

I would really just muck in all positions & jam from the SB, because any call is domination or a race.

You aren't desperate here, but of course could be in better shape.

4 people yet to act, still have 8 BBs, not the small stack, and with a hand that's going to be no better than a coinflip against anything but a hand that includes a deuce (and an 80/20 dog to any pair). I don't think this is the time.

(From the button, or with 5-6 BBs, or if I'm the smallest stack, or with even a vaguely respectable pair -- say, sixes -- I might do this. But everything's pointing the other direction in this case.)

Your stack is too deep to make this push IMO.

Fold this.
