 As played, Get it in now. He will rarely have AA as there is only two left, which makes only 1 combo. His having a 9 is rare. This is most likely a split pot or you are ahead of a weaker Ace like AQ.

However, I think we should probably be checking this flop. Reason being is his 3betting range is something like QQ+, AQs+, AKo (possibly), and maybe some random bluffs. Well hands lke AQ and AK we are getting it in here usually. However, hands like KK, QQ, and his bluffs will be hesitate to play here. Therefore, it will probably be best to check and let him take a stab at the pot. If he checks behind, then you should be firing the turn.

Just my thoughts. Wait for some other verdicts before going with it.

I concure with stacks. After reading the post I think you are likely facing a 3 bet with aq That is why he is pushing with the flush draw out there. I would get it in the middle here before he realizes he is beat. I am just a newbie so I would see if my decision is the general censes as well. So take my opinion for what is worth.
Good luck
Don

 Instead of pushing right there, I would 3-bet to 25-30. That way he'll have a harder time folding AQ, AJ, but effectively he has to pay you off eventually either by raising all in, or by calling on the turn when he's getting 4:1 on a call.
One reason to push right there if I have one of my most common player notes on the guy which simply says "hero" - meaning that he likes to raise c-bets and call down bluffs, in which case a shove might look weaker to him.

 This is a Cake HH right? Try the converter out and it might make it more easy to read. The great thing about converters is that they show the pot size after each street.

Thanks for the replies. I had a very similar hand 1o minutes later, after reading your posts. I followed your advice and stacked a villian with A1o vs. my AK.

But when you call a big reraise on the flop after youve bet on your ace, aren't you ever concerned you're up against a set? In the above i understand with the 2 aces already gone and 2 9's already gone its not likely, but how about on a flop of like A95 and the villian only called my pf raise?

 Yeah you can have that concern. But that's where hand ranges, reads/stats, and hand combos come into play.
