Play hand

$50/$100 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP1$1890.00:///////;MP2$4030.00:///////;MP3$1310.00:///////;CO$3670.00:///////;BU$900.00:///////;BB (Hero)$2580.00:///////;UTG$2000.00:///////;UTG1$1980.00:///////;UTG2$1640.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q:c, A:c.
5 folds, CO calls $100.00, BU raises to $900.00(All-In), 2 folds, CO calls $800.00.

Flop: ($1800) 5:h, 9:h, 9:d (2 players)

Turn: ($1800) 7:c (2 players)

River: ($1800) Q:s (2 players)

Final Pot: $1800.

Results follow:

CO shows a pair of nines(Kd Js).
BU shows a pair of nines(Kh Jc).

CO wins with a pair of nines(Kd Js).
BU wins with a pair of nines(Kh Jc).

I think here BU range is very wide he only has 9BB left CO calls so he sees an opportunity for a steal? is my hand good enough to call in this position? or go for a push and a coin flip with the BU or was it best to fold as played as its still mid phase and im not in desperation for chips at this point.

I would isolate shove this always. CO limping is very rarely trap and that is reason for BU to shove quite wide. So even if BU would be tight he should have enough weaker hands in his range for us to shove.

Ok probably got some good fold equity from the CO. but is it worth going to the coin flip and getting sucked out on and being left really short stacked as it's still 9 handed?

Seems like you're underestimating both the power of your hand and your stack here - you still have a healthy >10BB stack when he doubles up off of you, and also should quite crush his range with your AQs.
