AK top two facing aggression - 200NL

As played i'd fold river w/ reads.
I would 3bet flop and decide on his timing. Instant shove i'd fold.
Anyway his only repping 99,but is hard choice cause of your reads.
Would he play A9s/K9s like this? Doez he call them pre? Strange spot for me.

3b folding the flop is pretty bad. You're just raising to 'find out where you're at', and turning AK into a bluff.

I think hero played the hand fine, and once I call down I probably end up calling river, but I can see some merit to folding. Villain has 3 combos of 99, but only 1 combo of A9s. Does villain ever flat AK pre?

Folding probably isn't so bad given so many A9s combos are blocked.
