Default Dead Money Overlay Push

I don't think I have to be ahead of the small blind to make this a good move. This is from a 4/180.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP1 (t36487)
MP2 (t18318)
CO (t24928)
Button (t24079)
SB (t3305)
Hero (t8003)
UTG (t13233)
UTG+1 (t10566)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t1600</font>, Button calls t1600, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t3255</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t7953</font>...

Current pot is now t14658.

Good? Bad? Standard? If bad, what hands other than KQo would make it good?

Isn't SB basically all-in? Are you expecting a fold?

really dependent on how co/btn are playing. you got the right idea but its better if you have like 12 000, as is it is very unlikely CO and Btn will fold anything decent, especially since they have fairly sizeable stacks. but if theyve been playing really loose its ok, will they call with hands even KQo dominates?

The SB posted t50 for the ante and pushed all-in. I was not expecting to be ahead of the SB, but I thought the re-raise by the SB followed by my re-re-raise would get the CO and button to fold a lot of hands.

yeah hell fold the ones you want to play if you connect w a king or queen. the ones that have you dominated arent going anywhere. the advantage is you get to see all 5 cards w out getting bet off the hand on the flop.
