NL2, 6-max, 2nd pair vs turn shove

Pacific Poker - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (SB): 109.5 BB
BB: 89 BB (VPIP: 53.57, PFR: 10.71, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 29)
UTG: 40 BB (VPIP: 16.53, PFR: 12.29, 3Bet Preflop: 1.35, Hands: 241)
CO: 131 BB (VPIP: 48.72, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 41)
BTN: 38 BB (VPIP: 17.89, PFR: 10.29, 3Bet Preflop: 3.52, Fold to cbet: 71% (17) Hands: 799)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A 9

fold, CO calls 1 BB, BTN calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 3 BB

Flop: (10 BB, 2 players) 9 4 2
Hero bets 6 BB, BTN calls 6 BB

Turn: (22 BB, 2 players) T
Hero checks, BTN bets 28 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 28 BB

River: (78 BB, 2 players) A

Preflop: raise for value. One caller, IP.
Flop: value cbet. I think I could bet bigger here, but on the other hand, I am playing against a tight player, who plays almost fit-or-fold poker. His high fold to cbet convinced me that my bet sizing is correct.
Turn: here, I think I made a huge mistake by calling. I play against a tight player who shoves against my (now) second pair. He surely has something.
River: I get lucky and have two pair.

Opinions?

Fine


Yeah looks fine, very rare that I would fold this for these stacks. Villain having such a low 3bet will give him more overpairs than normal though and for deeper stacks I could find a turn fold.

His fold to cbet is absurdly high, but he is never folding flush or straight draws - It actually gives him less Tx than normal as he won't really float the backdoor draws around the 9.
