This was an SnG. I was this low because earlier my KK had gotten cracked by Ax when an A came on the turn. I knew my table image was tight...if they had been paying attention because I wasn't getting any hands and some of my money had gone towards just playing the blinds each orbit...

Thanks for all the comments...I ended up getting called by a bigger stack (who actually raised to isolate) with AK and I won with a 8 on the flop...

I ended up placing 3rd in this tournament next to the guy who's AK I cracked. He made the statement when my J8 won "That figures" then pushed the very next hand with T9o and beat a pair of KK that called him when the flop came 99x. I noticed he didn't make a statement that time...

I need to work on my end game...I wasn't really happy with the 3rd because after this hand I went on to get some great hand and accumulate almost 6k in chips...I should have floated to at least 2nd from there, and I'm going to review my hands to see where I screwed the pooch...

Limping is clearly wrong here. If you limp you probably have like 15-25% equity against any callers. If you push you have a good chance to pick up like 20% of your stack, and are likely to be at worst 40/60 against a caller... the first in vig easily raises your equity a huge amount.

The important thing to note though, is that these kind of moves where you're basically saying "I'm out, I'm taking my last gamble to eeither not run into a hand 4 or 5 times or to get lucky when the chips are in"... aren't the best way to go late in a sit 'n go where everyone else is desperately short as well. It takes a LOT less to money/win a sit 'n go then it does a large MTT... frequiently one or two hands even when you're virtually dead will have you back in competition. Step up your hand standards a bit since you're far more likely to get called, and getting busted costs you more here when you're still fairly likely to win then in a MTT when you're virtually dead allready.
