Your check-calling range is fine if you have some Kx and some flush draws in it. K9s is just so high in your range that it's +EV to raise it.

I'm not massively keen on the turn bet, but it's OK I suppose. It kind of depends how light villain continues on the flop. e.g. Does he call the flop with random 9s, or gutshots with no clubs? I think he might have a lot of NFDs and AK/AA, so he's not folding the turn very often.

Bet smaller on the turn with our whole range.
