Default $16 - A9 in SB vs Karate Kid

BB was 57/14.
I felt my hand was too good to fold preflop.
On the flop I decided to cbet, but is that good against a karate kid?
Karate kid here means a donk that thinks you are stealing (and bluffing on flop) and will not give up. (quote sence)

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) by Hand Converter CG

CO (t1085)
Button (t5155)
Hero (t2110)
BB (t1415)
UTG (t1300)
MP1 (t1680)
MP2 (t755)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t300) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t175</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t350</font>, Hero folds.

I'm confused, two hands?

Anyway, I prefer a limp with the A9o against someone who's always calling.

I would usually just be completing in the SB at the early levels and c/f missed flops. I don't think against this villain we pick up the pot much pre and have to play the hand OOP w/ a marginal hand that's bloated, which I don't like.

I don't mind the pf raise, but I'm just check/folding this flop. With your read, villain is unlikely to fold to a c-bet, so just give up and move on to the next hand.

Completing is so much better vs this type of villain. We keep the pot under control.

this is pretty strange actually.
I just complete preflop and bet a lot of flops.
