Ugly call?
 

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

MP (t2315)
Villian (t2810)
SB (t2385)
Hero (t1240)
UTG (t1250)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, Villian raises 1300, fold, Hero? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Whole table playing pretty aggressive and I've had few opportunities to act first. Villians bet feels measured-like he wants to pressure me, but not expose his whole stack if SB has a big hand.
Anybody not call this?

Hero calls.

Easy call. You're not going to sneak ITM (let alone go for first) without a double-up, and ATo is way ahead of Villain's steal range. Sorry he had a real hand this time.

you think his plan is to raise half his stack and then fold? i wouldn't sweat the bet size.

you should call, btw. i'd muck a7, probably muck a8, call a9.
