Default NLTRN - Do I go broke here?

Alright, I'm new to HUSNGs, so forgive me if this is just a standard situation. I'm a 9-man SNG player at heart, so I have a really hard time folding tp heads-up.

This is just the second hand here.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t15/t30
2 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: t1455
BB: t1545

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t90</font>, BB calls t60 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t105)</font>.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t180, 2 players)
BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t120</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to t540</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t1365</font>, BB calls t825 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t2085)</font>.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (t2910, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t2910)


River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t2910, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t2910)


Results:
Final pot: t2910

You can probably fold to his raise without a read that tells you otherwise. If he is drawing (which is likely) you are probably in a toss up situation, whereas if you are behind he is probably 74% at least.

Do you think he does this with a six or a pp under the nine?

Anything is possible, but I'm not going to assume against an unknown. Fold to the flop raise because we don't want to take a gamble when it is only the second hand and we can outplay the villian in a bigger spot. I don't even call here because I think I can find a better spot. That raise represents half our stack and how often is ANYONE shutting down on turn after such a raise.

You're getting exactly 2:1 flop odds on the call . I think there is a decent chance that you're in the lead here at least 33 % of the time . Folding and waiting for a better spot is often overrated.

I'm usually willing to go broke with top pair decent kicker early against an unknown . This type of strategy hurts your ROI but is great for your $/h ratio .

Not at these blind levels unless they are really retarded.

He's a new player, he's playing on full tilt, doesn't that make this a shove?
