What is the worst hand you would value bet here?

People definitely will check too much Jx so I'd never bet 9x
20 on the btn open seems excessive. I would value bet QJ+.
It’s close. Q9+ is probably my cutoff.
Would be cool to bet like 30 and see if he spazzes out
I would bet down to pocket 5s, I think this gets called by Ace-high an awful lot, when (from V’s perspective) KQ/KT/QT/T8/T7/87 all missed.
With every draw missing, I think we can bet our better 9x for value here. T9 is good enough. Might even bet 98 sometimes.
It all depends on what you make of his pot sized bet on the turn. Doesn’t look like a bluff catcher type hand to me.
