Read: BB is aggressive and attacked lots of pots

I raised from button to steal. BB led with overbet. I found myself w/ top pair.

I had some doubts with the strength of my kicker but since it's heads up and BB is bluffy so I made the call. The play was made on my read on BB. Against unknown I might fold this.

Fold preflop. 92o should not be in your stealing range. It doesn't play post-flop well at all. This is clearly visible in this hand too, cause even though you hit your top pair, you could never be confident about your hand. In fact, it's hard to see him turn up a worse hand than yours often enough to make your postflop play profitable imo.

H iSuperbrain,

Preflop:I would not steal this loose unless the guys are complete nits. And BB looks like a fish (stack size)

Postflop: Given you act on your reads i don't think it's bad to call but you have to have good assumptions based on facts (not small samples).
