Default Top two pair facing raise on the flop

The first caller is a loose passive calling station, I have him beat here like almost always altough he could have a decent amount of outs (playing xxs). The player that raised me is a TAG running at 19/10/2,5. What's my is the 'standard' play here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($5.65)
BB ($39.30)
UTG ($21.45)
Hero ($128.25)
CO ($79.35)
Button ($44.75)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, CO calls $2, Button calls $2, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: ($6.75) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5.5</font>, CO calls $5.50, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $17</font>, Hero????

the only hand I can see the TAG having here that beats you is 99, QQ or AA is less likely as u have AQ, and those hands would've 3bet you preflop, esp by a TAG. Shove the flop.

What other hands does a TAG raise with here? I can only think of AQc, AK (less likely without a 3bet), KJc (MAYBE), Jc-10c, J-10 (although this would be a very aggressive move for a 2.5 with a better and caller). I don't know that you're all that far ahead here. Anyone have pokerstove to get the equity here? What hands did I miss?

Arr-in! A TAG is 3-betting you with AA and QQ PF, so you're only behind 99 here. He does this with a lot of draws, KcJc, KcTc, JcTc, as well as hands like AK (possible he doesn't reraise this in position with a PFR of only 10%), A9s, Q9s. With the dead money already in the pot, and button slightly less than full stacked, this is a very easy push.

All you can eat. Villain has some combo draws and random flop squeezes in as well.

Standard for me is pushing. He could have 99's but AJ, KJ, KT, Ax of clubs may be possibilities too.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I was a bit confused on the flop, so I did what most of you suggested: I shoved.
