Default Playing TT when the board pairs

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1420)
UTG+1 (t1265)
MP1 (t2170)
MP2 (t705)
Hero (t2515)
Button (t3520)
SB (t605)
BB (t1300)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t100

Flop: (t375) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t275</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t550</font>, Hero calls t275

Turn: (t1475) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets t565 (All-in)</font>

This is an $11 SNG. No read on the villain, except for the fact that I caught him bluffing and took a big pot off of him the previous hand. I don't know if he's on tilt.

Is this an auto-fold? Should I have called the check-raise on the flop?

Raise more preflop (200)

Push the flop after the reraise.

As played call very fast.

Why the push after the reraise?

I don't disagree but would like to understand the reasons?

I would also push after the reraise (if I was calling the reraise) because if you're going to call the reraise you're pot committed anyway. You don't mind making a worse hand fold (two over's) and many worse hands call (flush draws, A9, some smaller pockets) so stick it in now if you feel like you have the best hand.

I'm surprised; I thought a pf limp was really standard here.

Why would you want to limp here? Don't you want to raise for value and protect your slightly vulnerable hand? I normally raise to 250 here...
