Not really, I think it's a decent fold after the flop. You took a shot at it and you're almost always beat because the BB has an A or 9. The times he bluffed you out of the pot you give him credit for, he has position on you.

I'd consider raising more before the flop, to $3 or more. You're out of position and you want to fold weak Aces out or get re-raised by AK/QQ/JJ.

If BB is the type of player to steal a lot of pots, then you could maybe call his turn bet since it's only 1/5 of the pot, but you have to be prepared to call a large river bet if you do so. At this point you've invested just over 1/3 of your stack and I think it's a good point to get away from your hand as you are likely beat.

Good laydown.
