If they have it and their kicker isn't crap, they'll re-raise and you can let it go there. If they paired the other card on the board they might also just call, and then I'd suggest playing it with cautious aggression. Bet on all streets, but don't feel like you have to ramp up the bets so much.
Maybe it's just me but I would have a very hard time laying down trips with any kind of kicker, and no straight or flush draws on the board. It would be interesting to see what the exact odds are that someone has the other 9 with a better kicker. The way I see it would be like getting KK, someone going AI before you and laying it down b/c you think they have rockets. I might've possibly layed that hand down because it smelled like a boat the way he kept smooth calling you, but not because I suspected I was outkicked.
