$8.80 - best play on flop?

Blinds: t1,250/t2,500 (9 Players) SB: 77,407
BB: 39,110 (Hero)
UTG: 144,579
UTG+1: 74,784
MP: 28,342
MP+1: 126,171
MP+2: 47,815
CO: 50,608
BN: 93,259
Preflop (3,750) Hero is BB with 9 Q
4 folds, MP+2 raises to 5,000, 3 folds, Hero calls 2,500
32 left. I was new to this table. 8 hands on MP+2 no reads on him.

MP+2 has 19bb, I have 16bb. Were getting a great price pre calling seems the best option.
Flop (13,950) 2 9 T
Hero checks, MP+2 bets 5,105, Hero raises to 33,810 and is all in, MP+2 calls 28,705
I don't really like x/c, makes it awkward on almost every turn card. There was 19k in the pot I thought the best play was to shove and get him to fold hands with equity, although the flops hits my range I didn't see a better way to play it.

Thoughts on the best way to play the flop?
Turn (81,570) 2 9 T 3
River (81,570) 2 9 T 3 A
Final Pot BB lost and shows a pair of Nines.
MP+2 wins and shows two pair, Aces and Tens.
MP+2 wins 81,570

Do you guys see us getting called by worse here? Isnt donk betting and folding to a raise a better option? Because he cant just randomly float or raise us with this stack size, so he would probably just play straightforward and fold when missed and call w/ all 9x and some Tx and also raise w/ some Tx or sets or overpairs

Also I find folding pre a decent option. We will be frequently in a weird spot where we have to check/fold a lot and when we hit we dont know if we are ahead or not , because we're still going to have a medium to weak strenght hand, and playing OOP with a short stack makes it even more challenging...we dont have many moves, we cant x/c twice, etc
