MP2 is confidently LA-P, BB is typical LP-P, no read on CO.

Final Pot: 22 BB
This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while and am generally impressed with the community. First, does this strategy of calling play correctly here, or should I have thrown in a raise at some point? My thinking generally was that my late position was less useful with MP2 raising directly before me, when any raise would essentially double the bet and discourage callers (i.e. on the flop). I feel like, on the flop, my flush outs and 5/4 possibilities are normally worth a re-raise, but without double-bets in the pot ahead of me, does this make sense?
By the turn I put CO/MP2 on trip 9s or ace/two pair, wasting my 5/4 outs. BB could easily be on draw as well. Was the turn call reasonable, considering odds and the 3-bet potential of MP2?
