Re: standard here?
He's preventing a free card if villain chooses to check with overcards, which he could easily have. If villain has an overpair he will often just call anyway, fearing the 9. I think hero's play is reasonable. If it's someone who would never raise with a worse hand, bet/fold seems reasonable, but I'm not sure this is the case here. If villain would continue to bet AK and the like on the turn but not raise with that, hero should check.
