Flop Analysis
A small c-bet is the preferred play here. We hold a significant range advantage on paired boards, allowing us to bet frequently with our entire range to put pressure on BB's wide defense.
We use our range advantage to fire a small flop c-bet, but once the board connects and we have no equity, we check-fold the river.

Checking back is the standard play. The 9c doesn't help our hand, and while we have the best high card, we lack the equity to continue barreling against a range that just called a flop bet.
Folding is the only option. We have zero showdown value and BB's lead represents a range that is significantly stronger than our A-high.
