Default 6$ SNG ITM play: Stop n go with weak ace, is this ok?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t300/t600
3 players

Button (5385)
Hero (5150)
BB (9465)

Converter

Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Button calls t600 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t900)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t2700</font>, BB folds, Button calls t1800 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t3600)</font>.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t6000, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero is all-in t2750</font>, Button calls t2750 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t8750)</font>.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t11500, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t11500)


River: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t11500, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t11500)


Results:
Final pot: t11500

I didn't know what to do there, maybe raise less preflop? Check/fold the flop?
Thanks.

edit: Sry, hand converter messed up, I think.

That's not a stop'n'go. A stop'n'go would be calling a raise OOP preflop and pushing any flop. This is a go'n'go.

With that stack size, just push preflop. If you raise and get called there's 6k in the pot and 2.4k in your stack - you'd have to be very lucky to get a fold post-flop giving those odds.

You're shoving this pf almost always. The only time I don't is when villain always folds then all of a sudden limps.

My read on limper was that he was holding trash(which he was), so I get most FE by pushing preflop?

Yes - but unless he's an idiot this shouldn't make much difference; he ought to know that he is effectively calling you AI if he calls the raise.

However, this is a $6, so you can't assume that he knows anything of the sort and a push will have more FE because it costs him more chips to see a flop. More importantly, you don't have enough chips to play the hand if you raise (-&gt; push preflop), and you won't have enough chips left to get a fold on the flop even if he missed (-&gt; push preflop).
