Results below:

Spoiler

Hero had A, 10 (two pair, tens and nines).
MP2 had 10, 9 (full house, nines over tens).

I know I shouldn't have called the all-in, how could I have played the hand better? On hindsight I felt that I should have checked OTT instead.

I would shove right away on the turn. Now you are committed anyway.
I expect you get still some value and you want to protect your hand against draws as well.

If I don't remember correctly, I bet OTT with the intention to protect from draws, but what could I have deduced from his raise? Given that he called my raise pre-flop, what could his range have been? I don't have any HUDS, but assuming he is a TAG - possible JJ-QQ, AT+, KT+, maybe QJ+? Is that a fair assumption?

You only need to call 451 more in a total pot of 4,4k. So that’s crazy odds and that’s why I would shove the turn right away or you should bet the flop between ½ and 2/3 pot or so.
His range looks pretty capped. I don’t think he would shove a draw. So QJ, KJ+ and AJ+ isn’t likely.
So I expect he has a range of TT-QQ, AT and KT here.

SDK, I think that even if he choses a smaller sizing OTF, he would be anyway committed to the pot. A shove OTT I see as the only option unless you think his range is ahead by the turn.

That could be right indeed and we don’t know anything of the villain as well.
So against a random player is shoving turn pretty standard.
