I would have folded in the SB. You are OOP, your hand doesn't play well in multiway pots, and it's early in the tournament.
Because of that, I don't really get into these spots. I'd probably gamble and call him, hoping he is just overplaying something, but I wouldn't be happy with my hand.
A call won't cripple you, but it doesn't put you in a good spot. If he had more chips then I'd lean to a fold.

I make a sniffling call, one step short of a crying call. If I pay off the str8 (unlikely) or the set of 6s, 7s or 8s, so be it. I still have a stack to play with and smaller blinds allow me time to recover.
He's in the cutoff with no openers in front of him. Doubtful that his holding are pp As, 6s, 7s or 8s, as these are all raising hands preflop, with this position and no openers. Aces may decide to slowplay here but I'd pay these off too.
Connectors giving the str8, 54 or T9, aren't getting the odds to play with so few callers. T9 is far more likely than 54, but I still don't put him on this. if I'm playing this in the cutoff, i'm also raising coming into this pot preflop.
More likely - a weak ace. His betting would fit A6 or A7 (and maybe even A8 ).
This is merely my analysis, however. The majority of the players I encounter at the $6 SnG level play like donks and he could have anything, including those hands i ruled out. It's the reason i take so many notes.

Well, as mentioned I'd avoid this hand.
However, him reraising you on the flop screams 2 pair or a set. I wouldn't be too worried about the straight so when you made the best 2 pair on the turn your only fear was a set. You gambled and came out on top, but I'd avoid these hands.

pretty much played it perfect in my book. Calling the 60 reraise on the flop with a 3 outer + I'd say about 10% bluff chance was worth it with the implied odds.
