I don't think we should be calling this preflop to be honest. Your minimum call in this situation is QQ, maybe AQs 50% of the time and 65s 25% of the time. 99 can be a call with a small frequency too, but better to have some info about opponents - if MP+1 hs the potential to be the fish, we can try. On he other hand, having a fish acting behind you is a limiting factor.

Flop: as played, you have to call, Villain can easily have overcards.

Turn: this one is tricky. You might still be ahead, but Ax hands now have a 10-outer against you. Protecting 21% of a big pot seems like a huge deal, on the other hand he still has JJ+ here, FD is also possible, AhKx has a 19-outer against you. Though if he has JJ/QQ without , then you may still get him on the river and hope for a check back.

I don't think your hand can withstand more than 2 typical streets of value, in 4-bet pot it's only one.

Check back and if river comes a blank a he shoves, then it might be a sigh call. In almost every other case it's a xb, unless you hit your 9.
