Call... he probably has a busted draw and doesn't put you on a hand due to your incredibly weak betting.

Don't see monsters and think he has a Ten - this is very unlikely, and in any case with a Ten, he raises somewhere before the river. In fact if it's not a bluff, I would be less surprised to see him with pocket Sixes (calling weak flop and turn bets versus possible continuation betting with overcards then getting lucky), pocket Eights (weak player slow-playing but not thinking you'd call a raise), or 97 (you're giving him good odds with an open-ended draw). But generally this flop is good for you since no-one can get a better two pair.

Bet more on the flop (you bet $2 into a $4.75 pot??) -like $4. Bet more on the turn - like $9. Check the river if he calls the turn or put out a $10 blocker. You're in a tough spot if he then makes a big river bet or raise, but you can bin it with more confidence, depending on your reads.

As played you've basically failed to bet properly in the previous rounds and haven't got enough money in the pot with a big hand. However it means, playing you hand for what it's worth, you shouldn't think twice about calling for $9 here.
