Default Stars Million: Ugly spot with TPTK

Villian is Bushman, a known solid player. I've been playing the normal early TAG game, he probably doesn't have any special reads on me.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t14725)
Hero (t11400)
UTG+1 (t9375)
MP1 (t4275)
MP2 (t13275)
MP3 (t11125)
CO (t8450)
Button (t8200)
SB (t22450)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, UTG+1 calls t600, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t600, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>.

Flop: (t2100) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t8775</font>, MP3 folds, Hero ?.

Does he ever really have AQ here? There's agood chance he might fold preflop, and I doubt he just jams the flop.

This is a pretty easy/standard call, I think. Wrong tourney to be laying this down on, IMO.

Of course he shoves sets here, because it "looks like a draw". But there aren't many draws a good player can actually have here. I really think you're hoping for a chop if you call here, and folding is probably fine.

so you shove 99 77 here all day stevepa, I figure most good players call and raise any turn, maybe I'm missing something, it seems you lose value by pushing 99 or 77 here?
