So when you flop top pair with a nine and your ace kicker, just check and bet the turn if nothing scary comes

So betting the flop here is not for value???? When your'e up against players who fequently calls the flop - cause it's the cheap street and they look to spike bottom set or a big card for top pair - you give up too much if you don't bet your top pair and you give them correct (infinite) odds to draw to these hands.
