Flop Analysis
C-betting small is effective on this Ace-high rainbow texture where we hold a significant range advantage. We have plenty of value and can fold out BB's air easily.
We should lean toward checking the turn to protect our range, but once we reach the river, our hand is a pure value shove at this SPR.

Checking is the preferred play here to balance our range and avoid over-inflating the pot with a marginal top pair. While we are still ahead of most of BB's range, the 9s introduces more complexity.
Note: Betting is acceptable but checking is higher EV; we don't need to build a massive pot with a weak kicker when OOP.
On this clean river, we should commit the rest of our stack. Our hand is too strong to check-fold and functions best as a polarized value shove given the shallow SPR.
Note: Sizing was slightly off; at this stack depth, moving all-in is the superior way to maximize value and simplify the decision.
