Default 1st post here - did I play this wrong?

$12 180-man turbo SNG on Stars. Villian had jammed a few hands ago and shown down 8 high - was obviously eager to get his chips in the middle.

Button (t3130)
SB (t2610)
Hero (t1470)
UTG (t2825)
UTG+1 (t1675)
MP1 (t905)
MP2 (t1545)
CO (t1130)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1470</font>, MP1 calls t605 (All-In).

Flop: (t2450) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t2450) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t2450) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2450

My Thoughts: Although generally I feel that min-raising EP is strength, I thought this guy was overly eager to get his chips in. I'm already the BB so it was about 600 more. At worst I'm 40/60 against Ax, possibly even money-ish against 22-55, but I have seen players make this kind of move in a low-limit tourney with Kx suited. I thought this was a profitable move, especially considering it is a turbo and there is a need to accumulate. Was I wrong?

Thanks!
