Ac-9s is a bluff on this board, and of course we are not shocked, that someone might be bluffing. Even recreational players bluff, and Ac-9s is not a totally crazy hand to turn into a bluff in this situation. He improved to top pair on the turn, but with 4 cards to a straight and 3 to a flush, thats really not something, he can continue to call with, and while he picked up a bad flushdraw, his gutshot draw got counterfeited.

So him showing Ac-9s only prove, that he has the ability to raise the turn as a bluff. And for sure that make it better to call him down, but it does not change the fact, your hand was a bluff catcher. With two pair he would likely just have continued to call you on the turn, and then maybe also call again on the river.

So you might have a point, that you can bet light for value at 2NL, because people are so bad at folding nominally strong hands like two pair even on a board like this. But often it then needs to be a bet-fold, because they are not raising as a bluff very often. The issue with bet-folding here is, that he could be raising the same hand for value. And thats why I would personally go for a check-call. If he checks behind, thats totally fine, then I can go for another street of value on the river, unless it 4-flushes or pair the board.
