Try to get an extra job that makes you at least 250 pounds a month. Use that income to pay back your debt etc... But you ll never be able to win that money back through poker. you ll end up losing much more.
You leading here would not be for value... You would be leading as a semi-bluff.
Checking here would not be to induce. You would be checking to call, possibly for pot control, or to take a free card.
Also opening Q9d is not the worst, but I would just be cognizant that it is on the looser side, which isn't career ending if you know how to navigate your game post flop.
I know people will be probably say opening Q9d is a bad open in a vacuum, but again if someone has some good logic behind it and can navigate flops properly, opening Q9d on occasion is fine.
However my advice for you would be just to cut hands like this out of you ep opening range until your game improves and you can quantify why you are opening hands like this and how you're going to follow through on certain flop textures against certain villains, this is exploitative and can be done profitably, despite the naysayers.
I'm not sure overall how your game is, I am making some assumptions given how many posts you have and the simple fact that you think leading on a board like this would be for value, so I think it may be safe to say that maybe you're fairly inexperienced. Which is ok.
Please don't be discouraged either. Kinda have to develop some thick skin on this forum, can be quite the pissing contest as people get burned for making seemingly simple mistakes. Keep grinding and playing hands like this can lose you some money initially but if your willing to keep learning, you can learn some trusty nuggets on how to play hands more profitably, as well as learning other dynamics that go into a poker hand.
Good luck!!! Keep asking questions!!!
