I'm folding this on the flop. We're up against a big ace, possibly AA. We're never getting paid off if we hit the flush, it's only the gutshot straight that we get to bet for value.

There is a lot of reverse implied odds with calling on the flop being 200 bets deep, when you miss the turn 80% of the time you're likely calling another big bet (which is a huge mistake).

I think if you're going to play this hand, you have to lead out for half pot on the flop and hope MP calls the bet. This also gets value when CO doesn't have aces and sometimes also calls.

I don't mind checkraising this flop if you have stats on CO that shows his 3 betting range is wide preflop but without reads i'm going to assume you're up against aces. Turn that 9 into an 8 and obviously i'm never folding this flop.
