The correct play depends crucially on the details of MP's capping range. Either way, donking is bad because the MP will bet close to 100% of his range here. He will raise you (on the flop or the turn) if he has you beat, maybe isolating you against a better hand OOP. Check-call or check-raise depending on your assessment of MP's range.

Versus a capping range of 99+, AQ+, (or stronger) check-calling seems best (Equilab, gave the fishy BU 30% flats). Throw in 88, AJs and KQs (or more) and you have a solid check-raise versus the two.

Its ok to donk out on this flop since he might check with AJs and AK. As a default you should just checkraise or i think against his range even c/c is better as TT 99 QQ AA is all in his range and AQ not many times. As played the turncard made it easy to just follow through with bet bet
