For some reason, I like it. Very hard to put him on a Q or 8 here. 109, J10, 2 diamonds and many other ranges come to mind, unfortunately so does 22-77, which beat you. I'm going to say he's probably got a low pocket pair, read you on A/K high and called. I think it's a fine push though with stacks as is. (I don't play 45 mans much, but I dont think having a 1800 stack if you call is much of a stack for a FT) so either push or fold.

Ya, it's def push or fold. On a side note, does the fact that I tanked for a while deacrease the value of my bluff?

I don't think so, because I'm not so sure it was really a bluff here. Being the SB he could have a very wide range of hands, ace rag, king rag, suited connectors trying to hit, etc. etc. I think you probably had him here IMO.
