Default PP Million $600+40 - Am I busting out first hour with AA?

First Hour, been playing moderately tight and agressive post-flop. Villain has been TAG pre-flop but made some questionable calls post-flop. Do you call here?

SB (t1765)
BB (t620)
Villain (t1795)
UTG+1 (t1260)
UTG+2 (t1345)
Hero (t1795)
MP2 (t1565)
MP3 (t1735)
CO (t1545)
Button (t1920)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG (Villain) raises to t125</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t375</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Villain calls t250.

Flop: (t795) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villain raises to all in</font>, Hero??

I call.

I would put him on AQ/99+
You're a favorite to that range.

I think you can fold here. His range for this push should be AA-99.

You split with AA, are ahead of KK and TT (but they have straight draws too), and are crushed by QQ, JJ, and 99. However, KK and TT would seemingly be a lot less likely, so I think I try to find a fold here.

As opposed to a set that open push overbets?

You have to call here. Instantly. You are probably almost 65% against his range and you have pot odds.

If you lose, you lose.

Yeah I like the call. What are the hands that hurt you? KT, QQ, JJ, 99, QJ

I think the opponents preflop play probably rules out the former and the latter. I doubt that he plays the set that strongly because the hand is so strong he doesn't want you to fold.

You have the edge over everything else. What's not to like?

I called, I had a bed feeling I faced trips but I couldn't put myself in those shoes with an open push all in. So I figured he had KK and put it all in there.

Pot is 800, Villain has 995 behind. I don't see the push as a huge overbet.
