I would have played it the same.

I wouldn't like a cbet there because I think any 5, any 9, and probably any 10 is going to call you. I would have called SB's bet on the turn, but since you have a raise from MP (although just a min) I think you would be at best splitting the pot here. Plus you still have SB to act behind you.

TPTK on an extremely drawy board with people left to act, looks like a good lay down to me after the min-raise.

Good, I think c-betting this flop is near spew. Not much you can do after it goes bet/raise on turn but fold. If MP has anything worse than As8s, never leave the table.
