Dealt to Hero: 5 J

UTG Folds, EP Folds, MP Folds, HJ Folds, CO Folds, BTN Folds, SB Calls $750, HERO Checks

Hero SPR on Flop: [1.3 effective]
Flop ($4200): K Q J
SB Bets $3000 (Rem. Stack: 2460), HERO Calls $3000 (Rem. Stack: 6450)

Thought he may be just taking a stab at a juicy board with nothing hoping to scare off others, so I called thinking i at least had mid-pair and he would not Double Barrel leaving me an opportunity to be the aggressor

Turn ($10200): K Q J A
SB Bets $1500 (Rem. Stack: 960),

?
Now i think i'm beat, but not sure. Is he just being really agg. or am i crushed

BB: FOLDS, SB wins: $10200

Considering villain's stats he must be a habitual limper. So the better course of action would've been to raise all-in preflop since your stack size was about 7BB and your hand was good enough.

Calling on the flop was a mistake as you didn't have enough chips to spend in order to see additional board cards. You didn't have any fold equity (the villain was pot-committed) so imo it was better to fold.

I'm okay with the postflop decisions but I agree with xbursonicx that we should just jam this all in preflop. It's very likely we just get a fold here. And we have a very short stack to be playing postflop. With a weaker hand I'd just check my option, but here I would jam.
