Best play: Bet 45% pot
Why
Pairing the 9 on the turn gives hero second pair with a king kicker, and since SB's double check caps his range, a medium probe (~45%) gets thin value from weaker Ax and small pairs while denying equity to overcards and backdoors.
Key idea
When the in-position player gives up by checking twice, lead the turn for thin value with a pair and a kicker.
