Bill, I don't think you've recovered from that batchelor party. Your advice seems to be based on the assumption that Dessertlady is in early position. The BB you say? Where did that come from? The way I see it she was UTG + 4 at a full table. The table folded around to her she opened the pot with min raise with A9 suited hoping to gain position. The button called, what are you going to do. The BB called. She is out of position only to the button. There's 650 in the pot. 
 
The button checks the flop. Lady has top pair and a flush draw and no reason yet to think she's not ahead in the hand. She lead out pre-flop so a continuation bet was in order. 200 was a little weak and could be seen as a stab by anyone with a King or another Ace. 1/2 the pot would have been about right. Alarm bells should have gone off however when the BB called and then raised on the turn.
 
But the question you put forth has nothing to do with how you got here. Your probably behind in the hand and you know it. There's 1650 in the pot and it only costs you 400. As Stack and XD said your getting exactly the 4:1 odds you need to make this call with 2 cards to come. But you don't have 2 to come. You need 5:1 odds to call the turn. Your not quite there but your implied pot odds could put you over the top. There is also a small chance that your Ace is good and the 2 remaining 9's (not hearts) could be outs. 
 
This one's a coin toss.
