I'm not villain, so it doesn't matter what I'd do on this flop in villain's shoes. And besides, I might shove this flop with AK if I felt villain would call Ax or flush draw, because AK is next to the nuts in this spot, seeing as the hands beating AK are unlikely to be in your range, with the exception of AA, which is one combo. He probably recognises that he already has maximum value post flop vs your TT-KK, so he might as well target your Ax and hearts.
Just fold pre. Bluffing A9 trying to get his bluffs to fold doesn't seem great to me. There's no reason to think he has any bluffs, he hasn't 3bet yet, despite his aggressive tendancies pre and his big stack. He seems to me to be playing tight aggressive poker, picking off fish who can't fold their top pair hands. If you folded to flop shove, kudos to you for not being heavily exploited by this guy. Hopefully he'll keep on shoving into your bets because eventually he'll shove his tptk into your set. But you still made a mistake, imo, when you 4bet him pre instead of folding. I can make a stand with A9o if he's continually 3betting me, but he isn't, so this one we should respect.
