Default $10+1 UB NL SNG

7th hand of a NL SNG on UB. I have no read on my opponnent. So far the table has been tight, and we each have around the 1500 TC (the starting value).
UTG+3 Hero opens for 3x the big blind (45) with:
A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Villain in the next seat raises to 9x (120) the big blind. Everyone folds back to hero who calls.
Flop comes: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero bets 135, villain calls.
The turn is:
6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero checks, Villain goes all-in.
Hero folds.
I think my biggest mistake was calling the raise preflop.

Preflop: Most of the time I fold to the reraise.

Flop: I like check-raising this flop. You can be much more sure you are beat if he plays back at you than with this line, and you can pick up more chips the times you are ahead.

Turn: I'm leading 250 here. If he pushes I probably fold.

This is a clear check on the flop, I think, if you decide to call OOP, which is iffy, because you're OOP.

Dry board, you got to let him bluff at it, and either call down, or do a line like Durron suggested.

BTW, I really like Villain's call, while Villain may not be a good player. Having position on a dry board lets you do stuff like call with AK and AJ there, planning to bluff the turn.
