I'd push because hero only has to be 35% in the hand because of the overlay. I estimate hero is ~40% in the hand given villain's range which I think is any broadway, any two hearts, j9, any ace. I think its EV+ to play the hand, and hero will have to commit all his chips, so do it while there might be some FE.

given the winner take all payout, there are no better opportunities.

Hero shouldn't have opened a9 if he wasn't prepared to go down with the hand against an aggressive villain who is capable/likely to raise the worst hand on an ace high flop.

and maybe there is the real problem. Does anyone have an issue w/ opening 3x in our spot from 3 off the button?

I dont see how theres anything wrong with opening A9s from that position and considering a fold on a pretty stacked board. It's not like villain was in the blinds, he cold called here, and thats gotta be a scary board for him too, i really doubt he's bluffing, so best case i think has to be that he's betting a combo draw or something, and it can obviously be much worse for us. I think even with this villain i fold to a raise there.

or maybe do what strassa said, check to him and see what he does.

and i think i raise A9s there nearly every time.
