Default 20: Heads up (single table, but it\'s a good heads up problem)

This may be an easy one, but I had a very strong read on villain based on his play and wanted to know what you thought:

Blinds 120/240

Hero (4300), BB
Villain (4700), SB

Villain has never taken this line before in about 30 minutes of heads up (I was WE, he caught up AK > 66).

Blinds 120/240

Villain limps, Hero raises to 900, Villain raises to 1580, I penetrate his mother, come back and _____ ?

99. And, no I have not been raising his open limps AT ALL -as all of my [censored] has been of the 37o variety and he was a habitual floater.

Well what are we hoping for here a race? That seems silly since I assume we are the better player. I don't think you can expect to be any better than that against a habitual floater. IMO.

Yeah, HU is so volatile. What has he been showing down after limps? Have you raised any of his limps? Any of his raises?

HU is soo read dependant...but 99 is just too good with 18BB stacks to not shove the chips in. Even if you've never been raising his limps 99 is still so far towards the upper end of your range here. It's also not a great hand to see a flop with. Shove the chips in

Shoving seems really bad and unneccessary. I'd rather call and check/get-it-in on a A/K-less flop.

So it's ok to call (a 1/3 of our stack) and then fold 1/3 of the time when an A or K fall? I'm only asking because that seems bad at first glance.
