Default $1 (don\'t laugh) - the right fold?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG+1 (t3200)

SB (t2880)
Hero (t1795)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t25, <font color="red">Hero raises to t200</font>, SB calls t150

Flop: (t450) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t200</font>, SB calls t200

Turn: (t850) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (t850) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">SB bets t2480 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>

no read on the guy except he made a ton of money getting all of it in with aces. check calling the flop seemed funny unless he had an ace or flopped a set, which would then justify trying to trap further on the turn. thoughts?

It smells of a flopped set, he pushed hoping you had an ace. Looks like a classic overbet to look weak. Doubt he's bluffing but at these levels you cant tell sometimes.

Nice hand sir.

I might raise the flop a notch more. 225-275 just because a bet under half pot size looks kinda too much like a steal and is giving him great odds.

Edit: Don't want to hijack this thread, but is everybody raising to 4BB with a good hand against the SB who just completes? I tend to raise to just 3-3,5 BB ... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

We are OOP ?!?!
Are you saying that you are checking behind, when he called your turn bet?
