A9- How often am I Behind?

I think this is a situation where reads are more important than straight odds. If it is folded around to you in LP it may be worth playing, but you would want to open raise with it and if you are called you get that sinking feeling if the callers are tight because A9 sin't that good against what good players will call a raise with. If it is re-raised you have to make a tough descision because it isn't that strong a hand.
