Why not check/call and let him valuetown himself with worse 9s?
Imo a very good player will fold a hand like T9 or turn it into a bluf on the river, he wont call because you just revealed your hand strength.

My read isn't that he's a great player. Henceforth, I can play my hand in the manner that I did, get him to call with worse, and never worry about him turning his hand into a bluff. I would advise you to listen to my reasoning in the video re: timing, the amount of tables he's on, etc., for more reference.
Using your logic regardless, "Also, this just can't ever be a bluf, there aren't any 2 cards you would take this line with that is air on the river" means that we will never be bluffed since no one would ever think we were bluffing! (and hence folding after we bet would be correct).
Again, the part where you talk about "a very good player" is irrelevant because I'm not pegging him as a very good player. Against a very good player we are largely restricted into b/c turn c/c river. Against players who play exploitably, we can take other lines and have them be more +EV.
