well I think the A is a good card to bet again - if he has something, like a PP or a hit part of the flop he will call your standard contibet, because you miss the flop most of the time and check/fold the turn if he floats. You can represent the A as the PFA. On the other side you can check and maybe induce a bluff, but giving free cards on this flop is not the best choice :-(

I would fold here because I don't want to play for stacks here with a small twopair. Maybe he has already a straight or the A makes him a better twopair. Not sure if the fold is correct.

I think big draws are raising the flop rather than the turn most of the time. You're behind against everything else, and it's not a good spot for him to bluff. I would fold.

I dont think he i waiting until the turn to raise with J9 or 96. I do think that a better two pair are definatly in his range. I would have checked the turn and let him bet, then tried to get to show down for cheap.
