Best play: Bet 40% pot
Why
K9 is a clear value bet versus BB's turn-checking range but a weak kicker, so a small-to-medium 40% sizing extracts from Kx-worse and protects against overcards/draws while controlling pot size against rare better Kx.
Key idea
Medium top pairs bet small on dry turns to get called by worse and deny equity without bloating the pot against better.
