Default call shove w TPTK heads up 11/180?

Villian pushed my last button cont bet, we haven't shown down a lot of hands, but this is deep for this action.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t4000 (2 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t148696)
Hero (t121304)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t12000</font>, BB calls t8000.

Flop: (t20200) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I absolutely call this push here, especially since he c/r you the last time you took this line. Assuming it was early in HU play and this is all you can tell me about your opponents HU style, I dont see any reason to think you are behind. You have a draw heavy board and an oppt that seems to want to end the tourney all too fast... so finish him.

Something else that just came to my mind, your 1/2 pot c bet looks like you could be trying to get away from this fairly cheaply if he decides to put the pressure on, giving him all the more reason to attempt to push you off your hand... and you all the more reason to call

I thought it was a call (and it was). My 20-30bb &amp; HU play are weak spots.

He was stacked when we got to the FT, so I hadn't seen many hands shown down. He had no problem with the raise button.

Top pair with an ace kicker is a huge hand heads-up. You should literally beat him into the pot.

Are you guys calling all TP hands? 97, T9, J9? on this board it seems like there are enough draws for him to have where calling any TP hand is ok. What if the flop is three toned?
