Default 16$ - A9 kinda very short,, call here?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1510)
CO (t4170)
Button (t4315)
Hero (t1020)
BB (t2485)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t4315 (All-in)</font>, Hero???

Should I call or just fold and wait for a better spot?

I like a fold,he really needs to raise extremely wide to make this a call.

if u were BB and he was SB i'd favor a call, but he's pushing his entire stack into the BB who has 13BB's, I fold, especially since we have 3 hands until blinds again and theres no antes.. is this a call with antes?

With BB behind us, I'm not calling here. But as heavens_myst said, with us being BB and him being SB, a call looks much better.

I would call. Button would not be shoving here with premium hands... it's close though, but with only 1000 chips, blinds 100/200 and a stupid bet like this one I would call.

The call is good if he is pushing 20%+ (33, A4+, A2s+, KJ, KTs)

I would be happy to call in that spot. What are you guys waiting for? He has 5BB and button could push with a lot of hands since he knows that BB will fold most hands.
