BTN raises to 74,412 and is all-in, Hero calls ?

Villain is as I suppose beginnig reg (nice roi but only 2k games) playing fairly aggresive on FT

Guess its close. Ppl shove wide in these kind of spots. Given the fact that you've marked him as aggro I lean towards calling.

Players doing this with very random stuff is my experience in $2,50's so I think it's (almost) always a call in this spot.

Call!

K9o would be tough against a good reg
and imo a fold against this beginner reg

I think it is quite close as there is a great deal of icm present. According to Wiz the break $EV even point (ignoring any needed egde) is with the Btn pushing 50%. Thats if the BB would be willing to solo call the Btn at 15%, ie, decent Ax level.
I think you really do need to add a decent neg edge in this spot and if you make that -0.4 the Btn would have to be pushing 35% to break even.
With this knowledge against most reg players I think I would take the call, at the table I think I would be calling all but the nittier players
