I fold preflop in this hand. I try to be very aware of a SS lag's position to me. I'm willing to make looser calls with them, but not A9s loose. Part of your value with a hand like Axs is the suit factor, which doesn't pay off heads up.

I actually tighten up a little on my preflop raising standards when they're on my left, forgoing my normal late position raising standards, just because I know many times I'm going to be facing a heads up all in re-raise.

That said I tend to play 88+ more aggressively against them if I can.

Watch what they show down as well. Someone pushing big on 9's or raising pre then pushing regardless once the flop is out is more dangerous than the guy going all in preflop with 4's.
