This was about 15 hands into a party 20+2. UTG+1 had yet to raise pf and hadn't done anything noteworthy. MP2 hadn't done much either. Comments on both preflop and flop play appreciated.

I can call for set value only if I'm going to take both their stacks when I hit. UTG+1's raise is big enough that I'll give him credit for a real hand, probably one better than mine. I don't think MP2 is trapping with a better pair than mine. I decide to call and see a flop, and then just to play it by ear. Really, though, I have no idea what my plan is when I do this unless I catch a ten. This is where the "clueless" part comes in. What do you do preflop here? What's your plan for the flop? How confident are you in a TT overpair?

Ok, good. Not a set, but otherwise about as good as I'm going to get.

UTG+1's weak bet gave me the impression I might well be ahead of him, I still didn't think MP2 was trapping, so I pushed. What % of the time am I ahead when they both call me? Also, what's your action if that 9s on the flop is the Js/Qs?
