Default BB special; pushing AKo in family pot a good or bad idea?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO (t3240)
Button (t1810)
SB (t2390)
Hero (t3365)
UTG (t1960)
UTG+1 (t1170)
MP1 (t4490)
MP2 (t2485)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t100, MP1 calls t100, MP2 calls t100, CO calls t100, Button calls t100, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3365</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls t3265, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds.

Flop: (t7230) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t7230) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t7230) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t7230

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Kh As (one pair, fives).
MP1 has Jc Jh (two pair, jacks and fives).
Outcome: MP1 wins t7230. </font>

I pushed, reasoning the following:

1) Everyone limped, so I highly doubt I'm against AA/KK and therefore on the short end of a coinflip at worst.
2) I was hoping a push like that would smell like a misguided steal attempt, and get some loose calls.
3) The CL at the table (three to my left) had a VP$IP around 60; see #2.

Two calls and a no-help board later, I'm out thanks to the loose CL having jacks.

Was it a foolish idea to begin with, or am I being results-oriented and made a decent play? Also, how much should I have raised?

Edit:: found the HH
