QJc on button-Did I donk this up?

[Spoofy]

I had been raising my buttons and CO continuously on this table. The SB villain on this table was solid, showing down good hands.
I felt that my table image was becoming LAG on the button, and that players were due to start playing back at me.
Here is the hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool (http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php) from FlopTurnRiver.com (http://www.flopturnriver.com) (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($48.90)
BB ($11.20)
UTG ($7.90)
MP ($5.60)
Hero ($8.75)
Button ($10.15)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.10, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $1.5</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP folds, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($3.20) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2.7</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

<font color="black"> </font> The raise left me with call of $1 into a pot of $2.25. My initial thinking was that I was being played back at...which after some reflection I realize was a bad read. This player would not have shown much aggression from the SB, and I should have known that.
Anyway, I called, getting 2.25-1, in position, and thinking (incorrectly) that I was being played at.

The SB's flop bet left me having to call $2.70 into a $5.90 pot, with a flush draw and inside str8 draw. I ended up pushing my remaining $7.25 into the pot. I hit the 10c on the river to win. Questions:
-If I know the SB to be solid, is this a fold preflop after his raise?
-Given my situation at the flop, is this a bad push? Is folding the better play?

If your definition of solid is tight/nitty then I'd just muck this preflop. If you mean he's capable of loosening up against an obvious position raise and play back at your light then I'd take a flop with this hand.

Having got to this point on the flop you can hope for a bit of fold equity against a hand like JJ but you're really not that badly off against even a nitty range given the flush and gutshot draws. I'd just shove there and be done with it.

i don't think the pf call is going to be +EV in the long run.

as played i'd just shove the flop.

that preflop call is questionable but after doing so u must by all means shove that flop

The SB usually only showed aggression with good hands...and from his weak position I should have realized that my cards were likely in bad shape pre-flop.

When I first started out, I would normally fold the flop to that bet, so it's nice to see that I at least played this part correctly. Still need to correct my preflop decisions...Baby steps, baby steps....

BTW: the SB held AK offsuit.

Calling PF is pretty standard for me in position, but that's at higher stakes where 3-betting light is pretty common. Either way, you're getting good odds to take a flop here. If the RR had been to $2 or more, then I'd fold. As played, the flop is a standard shove. The only hand you really fear is KK, you have FE against QQ, JJ and TT and you're a very slight dog against AK/AA, which makes a push +EV with the money already in the pot.

given stack sizes, shove is fine with me. sometimes you'll get QQ and JJ to fold. AK never folds here (and probably shouldnt). if you guys were a bit deeper, i dont mind calling.

If you shove this flop you are never ever ever going to see a fold IMO not with your image and the preflop action. You are about 47% versus his range so the shove is okay given the dead money already in the pot but I dont agree with the idea that the shove should be for FE, I think villain folds this never.
