Interesting spot

Been 12-tabling 50nl lately and trying to stop auto-piloting and actually handreading.

This hand came up:
I'm in the BB with ATo and everyone limps. The players are kind of the random low stakes fish you'd see. SB is the only solid player on the table, reg and TAG stats. I decided to check my BB.

Flop comes 99Tr and SB leads pot.

What do you do here?

I'll post my thoughts and rationale in the next post

5.5 buy ins below EV playing biggest fish HU

I know I said something about not sharing bad beat hands but I found this HU session versus the biggest fish of all time genuinely amusing.

Let's review some of the big hands
