Turn push, MPWK

I found this hand interesting. This was from a low-stakes tournament on Bodog.

We're far from the money. I just got moved to this table, so I have no reads.

Preflop:
One early position limper (10+ BB).
Hero (SB) completes with T/images/graemlins/club.gif 7/images/graemlins/club.gif (7 BB after posting).
BB checks (6 BB after posting).

Flop (3 players, 3 BB): A/images/graemlins/spade.gif T/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/club.gif.
Hero checks, BB minbets, limper folds, hero calls.

Turn (2 players, 5 BB): 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Hero checks, BB pushes for about 5 BB. Hero?

If my hand isn't good, I have 9 outs to improve to two pair, trips, or a straight, not counting the cards that may counterfeit my opponent's hand.

I'm not sure why the questions are out of order. This is common when creating polls: The questions show up properly in the preview, and then get scrambled in the actual post.

Anyway, if you just want to see the results, there is an option to select this in what is now the third question. Please select only that, and nothing else, and submit. You won't be able to vote later, but you will be able to see the results.

I called. I felt there was a decent chance the Villain had only a 6, or something like 77, 88, 98, or 97. If not, I had 9 outs to improve to 2 pair, trips, or a straight, and a few extra outs if the villain might get counterfeited. My guess was that I would win about 40% of the time if I called, much greater than the 33% I needed, even though I felt I would be ahead only about 25% of the time.

Villain had T2, the river was a 3, and my kicker played.
