22 with set

Now normally I wouldn't play 22 UTG unless the table is a bit loose and passive like this one was. MP1 was a bit of a LAG so he might as well have been capping turn and river with a high pocket but I don't know. Did I play this right?

Bet the flop. The rest of the hand plays itself, but you may get many opponents for multiple bets if you unload on the flop. It also sets you up for strong turn play.

I don't think you will get the turn/river action that you did on this hand very often. Obviously since you are posting the hand you lost it and your opponent had TT. You played it fine, although I might only go 2 bets on the river.
