People who break here: do you ever have a 9 in this spot? Maybe 96www? The reason you can pat-snow more vs a D3 is because you should have more value hands in your range. But if you're turning your value 9s into D1s, you wouldn't be adding value and potentially only adding bluffs -- then obviously villain is correct to play back at you and call light. I would say it is good to have 9s in your range vs D3, and this is an ideal candidate.
Yes, a hand like 96542 would be a good hand to pat, as it can only make #4 at best, or one of the rougher 86
