$4 NL HE Full Ring: 2NL flush, straight draw facing weak cbet?

So I was playing 2NL and this hand came up. I was wondering if there was anything wrong with the way I had ended up playing it? I wasn't playing with a HUD at the time, and didn't have a good read on the villain as he was new to the table. My thinking was that I wanted to see a flop with a speculative hand. Normally, I'm generally folding this hand in this spot. Anyways, the flop came 9h 5s Qh, which was great for my hand and the villain made a really weak cbet. He bet 12c into a 24c pot which basically told me he was holding an Ace of some sort and had total air. So I decided I'd make a nice raise and hopefully take the pot down right here. If I'm completely wrong and he ends up being stronger than I thought we'd prolly get it all in here and I still have a good chance to come from behind and win the hand. Is this pretty standard stuff other than maybe fold this preflop?

Generally I would be folding preflop here, at a full ring table KT is going to be crushed by an mp open raise. As played I think your flop play is fine,

Depending on villain, calling or folding preflop is fine. But if villain is a TAG that's hard to manipulate postflop, you'd be better off dumping this pre. But given that its 2NL, calling's fine IMO.

I think this is a great spot to just call the flop c-bet. We're getting great pot odds, and villain is firing into 2 players after raising from early position, so we don't have a lot of fold equity.

Alright. I guess I was thinking he'd fold after that weak cbet. I couldn't believe what he was holding. I guess I pick bad spots for aggression and should have just kept dumping this hand pf.

outcome:
Seat 6: showed [Kc Ad] and won ($2.01) with Ace King high
Seat 9: showed [Th Kh] and lost with King Queen high
