Hello,

So as you expect his range to be 99+, AQ+, what are the hands we are looking to take value from on the turn?
I mean, if you think there is a probability that he could bet 99-QQ there, just call and reevaluate the river as I doubt that he's going to call a raise with those.

As played, I don't see worse hands calling us on river, so I'd check/fold there.

Best,
Plamen

Whats about preflop? If u assume that he is tight, whats our plan here? Given that we are OOP.

Why he is underbeting flop?

Well, since our ace is suited, we can call preflop especially against a minraise.
The fact that we are OOP is rather bad, but we can live with it as long as we don't overplay one-pair hands.

I can not really tell you why he's underbetting the flop - there are players that would like to bet like this with their AK/AQ in order to induce a raise, there are players that would like to go to a rather cheap showdown with a hand like TT there, so my plan here would be to just call down and make a note.
