middle pair against VERY tight player played badly

I know already that my flop raise sucks bad but you can criticize it some more.

Preflop: Hero is MP with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

I always raise ATs, so A9s can't be that bad. Specially when the players to my left USUALLY don't cold-call. I was not happy to get 3-bet. He was 12/8/6 after 50 hands. So very tight.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

My thinking, very flawed, was that if I raise, I can knock out the third player. If I get 3-bet by this tight raiser, I know I am behind. I can peel one due to odds and then fold.

I guess I should just call and let him bluff if he has UI overs or something (I don't believe he has. He must have at least a pair).
