5nl zoom, 1 hand on villain. I think my 3bet is dubious, should be 3betting wide value from BB really and A9o is a touch too wide. Flop I'm leaning towards x/calling over cbetting now, we pick off some stabs and a K is the only real scare card (ironically).

BTN: $10.23 (204.6 bb)
SB: $9.90 (198 bb)
Hero (BB): $9.49 (189.8 bb)
UTG: $6.72 (134.4 bb)
MP: $5.02 (100.4 bb)
CO: $5.09 (101.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A

2 folds, CO raises to $0.10, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, CO calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.82) 9

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, CO raises to $1, Hero calls $0.50

Turn: ($2.82) K

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.35, Hero .......

As played how do we feel about calling turn and calling any non-heart, Q, J or T river?

I'd ask myself "what am I trying to accomplish by 3betting A9o? Am I trying to make better hands fold or worse hands call?" You suggest it is for value, but I'd far rather widen my value range with more pps and decent Kx(s) than add mediocre Ax that will play very poorly when called (especially when oop).
I'm not sure how much of a scare card a K turn is here given villain's line, what Kx hands get to the turn that played this way?

Its either jam or fold ott you dont want to give him a chances to hit that draw.Its hard to say vs somebody who only raise sets for value should be ok to jam because he probably cant have all combos of all sets and you block his main value hand but give it was a min raise he can show up with some weird hands like JJ or soemthing.
Dont 3b ofc xD

Flat pre, A9s is far better to use here if we are going to use A9.

Cbet is fine, may go smaller but looks good. Jamming turn is a mistake, villain should be folding FDs as they aren't getting the price so we are only getting called by better. I'm calling turn as villain isn't repping too much on K turn, and reevaluating river.

A9o has zero playability OTF. Flat it.
A9s is a cool hand to 3b from SB.
