Default Bad play or bad beat?

Hi All,

$55 SNG, very early (blinds are 15/30), and I have a middle-ish stack (~1850). In in the BB with 85s. UTG limps, MP limps, SB limps, I check. (Pot=120)

Flop is J-8-5 with two clubs (I have diamonds), giving me bottom two pair against a possible club flush or straight draw.

SB checks, I bet 100. UTG folds. MP raises to 240. SB folds. I know MP pretty well, and I'm sure he'd have raised pre-flop with JJ, and 88 or 55 are very unlikely. So I don't think he has a set. Probably AJ, KJ, or he's semi-bluffing a club flush draw. In short, I'm pretty sure I have the best hand at this point.

I push in, and he calls with KJ. He hits another J at the river, and I'm out in 14th.

Should I have just called at the flop and pushed at the river (which was 2s)? I don't know. I think I played it pretty well, and he caught a five-outer. But I'd love to hear if others would have played it differently, and how I might have avoided this.

Comments?

Cris
