Default $3 + 0.25 PokerStars Turbo HU A9 AI?

Hi guys! This is my first post. Sorry, if the question is too easy for you, but I am playing poker only for 2 months, so it is very important for me to understand my leaks. This hand is a first hand of HU. I receive A 9, raise 2xBB, and get reraised All-in. I call.

My M-Zone is something like 9, Villain 20. I was playing TAG until blinds got 75/150, villain was a bit more aggresive from start of tournanment.

Is it a good call? If I think, which hands can I beat - probably villain wouldn't go AI with loxer Ax than A5, so from this viewpoint I'm in trouble. Also, I'm in trouble from medium-high pairs, small are coinflip. I'm a small favourite against KQ...he wouldn't probably go AI with something lower.

Maybe he bluffs, as my raised chips represent some FE for him...(I was playing quite tight, keeping pots small when having not a decent hand - maybe he though he can scare me away), in this case I'm a slight favorite, but probability of this is not higher than 15%. For me this was 50-50 situation. I called because it was first hand of HU - thought, that villain maybe wants to show me, that 2xBB raises won't work against him...Would you call? And, how big Axo would you need to call?

Thanks! See hand below!
