Default Early $10r- 99 v. smaller stack

Fresh out of the rebuy period. Villain wasn't gambling during the rebuy period. No one else was either. That's all I have on the guy. What's my plan against his stack. Re-raise preflop? How should I approach his flop check?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t6155)
Button (t5770)
SB (t2600)
BB (t3610)
UTG (t4380)
UTG+1 (t11375)
MP1 (t2895)
MP2 (t4925)
Hero (t7160)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t450</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t450, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>.

Flop: (t1125) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, Hero _____________

probe, about 1/2 the pot. i think a reraise is either a push or fold, leaning towards a fold.IMHO

The fact that your instincts are he's fairly tight by the way he played the rebuy hour this is a must bet IMO.

I bet 700 which represents 25% of his chips and only 10% of yours to pick up the pot. He really cant flat call here unless he has a monster and you've put a potentially weak/tight player to the test for all of his chips. If he calls I shut it down as I can feel fairly certain I'm behind. If he shoves you have a decision but if your read from the rebuy hour is he's weak/tight I think I cn lay down here to a reraise.
