I'd 3bet the flop. You're almost always ahead here, so why not? Make it 300.

And fold to shove? Or call shove?

What range do you put the villian on? If he shoves in his last $200 after I make it $300, what do you narrow his range to?

I don't think you can fold this hand on the flop. If he pushes you have to call. In the 1/2NL game he could have all sorts of trash, but I'd put his range based on his flop raise at 44, 55, 99+, A9, AK, maybe even some weaker holdings like AQ or a smaller pocket pair (77 or 88). 67 even? You say he's a loose player, so smaller suited connectors are possible.

On the turn you're in trouble because he'll probably only call a shove here if he's got the 9. This is why you need to get your chips in when it's most likely that you're ahead. So you avoid situations like this turn.

Really though, the level of play at 1/2NL is so weak that you've gotta get your money in on this flop. It's as safe a flop as you can ask for with AA.
