If not, you could be dominated. I don't think ten hands is enough evidence to be able to assume he has a wide shoving range. His open shove on the first hand could have been intended so that you would call off this second shove lightly.
In any case, if your read is right, then it would be easy to pick a spot where you have him dominated. I think there are better spots and you'd still have plenty of chips left to exploit his mistakes if your read is correct, and if it was incorrect, then you could be the one that's dominated.
Then again I might just be a nit. However, I also agree with this:

you don't want to maximize your winrate, but your hourly. search the forum for more about this if you are still not convinced, there are also calculations on how much of an edge you would need to make an early all in better than passing that edge.
I multitable for similar reasons. For win rates, I find personally that these $5 HU SNGs are best played by exploiting post-flop mistakes. The opponents there can be quite easy to exploit in this way and it's not out of the question to get something like 80% win rate this way even if it's not optimal from an hourly rate standpoint (sometimes my games last as long as an hour so I don't make so much and playing these faster is probably much better).
