Play hand

$25/$50 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]UTG1$1410.00:///////;UTG2$1810.00:///////;MP1$1670.00:///////;MP2$1490.00:///////;MP3$1380.00:///////;CO$1440.00:///////;BU (Hero)$1435.00:///////;SB$1320.00:///////;BB$1545.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with A:c, 9:c.
2 folds, MP1 raises to $100.00, 3 folds, Hero calls $100.00, 2 folds, BB folds.

Flop: ($275) 5:d, 7:c, 9:h (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $200.00, MP1 calls $200.00.

Turn: ($675) 5:s (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $400.00, MP1 raises to $800.00, Hero raises to $1,135.00, MP1 calls $335.00.

This happened at the beginning of a SnG 2.25$ turbo on FTP. I'm not entirely sure if my pre-flop call was justified in this case but I felt like it was worth it being in position and all.
However, I really feel like my bet/push on the turn was wrong and I was looking for feedback about how I should have played it out. Ty!

Edit: No reads on opponent.

a) fold pre, suited aces are not worth playing HU against raiser. I would overcall only if at least 2 of 3 ppl before us call as well.

b) If you call your goal is to hit 2 pair, trips (preferably 9), FD or better. Playing a pair of 9s that aggressive is a bad choice, esp. after his min. re-raise on turn.

This! As played I think folding to his turn raise is fine. But I would check behind the turn in the first place.
