Default AA UTG beat by J3o (10x Raise by J3 Preflop)

My First 'New Thread Post' --
Let me know if I'm missing some proper posting etiquette etc.. or leave out useful info, or posting too much info.. Graci:

This is from the the last Live Tourney I played in (last saturady), where I was knocked out with AA in 2nd level. Early. Cheap 30$ buy-in 100 person NL Tourney that I had finished fourth in the last time I played.. Blinds Raise quick after the first hour.. To where they are ridiculous and taking whole stacks at the final table about an hour and a half later. Quick Tourney. Designed to maximize casino profit and open the tables back up for ring games quick I'd guess..

2nd level of tourney. Approx 6k Starting chips (somewhat odd amount..)

I played two hands so far.. One w/pocket 9's 4x from Button with one MP Limper -- He bet large on a 3 big card (10 +) flop and I folded.. and the other I limped in late w/suited connectors and folded flop when I missed.

My stack is currently slightly over 5k.. I'd say 5.1k

Blinds are 50/100

UTG: Hero: AA (suits: forgotten at this point)
(Here I think about it for a bit... and the last 3-4 hands there has been 1-2 raises preflop.. I don't wanna scare a lot out on a decent bet here assuming i'll get at least one raise that i can reraise or maximize +EV..)

Hero (I) limp.

UTG + 1 Limps (900 Chips left)( Loose Fish.. Playing/Raising decent hands preflop so far( except for this..) but seems to be unable to let go of hands and feels he must protect his hand regardless of how bad it misses the flop and of how many players are in...)

Folds around to.. Cut Off who limps..

Button Folds ( F!ck i think.. that didn't work..)

SB Raises 10x BB (Niice... )

BB Folds..

I Think for a moment and just call.. (This player has been very loose, Fish, Horrid.. And is also the current chipleader, and just watched him river an inside draw after calling an almost pot sized bet with nothing but the draw on the turn and an overcard two hands ago..I figure with how he plays, i'll trap him into betting the flop and push then.. )

UTG + 1: calls (and is all-in)

Folded around ...

Flop comes out Jh 3h 5d

SB bets out 100 into the 3k pot w/hand slightly shaking... (I sometimes do this when I bluff myself after playing NL live after not playing for awhile live... although I know it's commonly (caro) referred to as a sign of strength.. and the 100 bet into 3k pot???)

..Anyways.. I wasn't having it and bet out raised 900 more for 1k total.. he pushed all in.. I called.

He shows J3o .. f!ck me.

UTG +1 shows K9o (donkey..)

I don't improve...

Thoughts?

I checked for Poll.. But unsure of how to use it. Primarily I was wondering would you raise w/the AA here or play it as I did, limping ? .. After you saw SB Bet 1000 in preflop.. what would you do ? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
