MP1 is 36/11/2 after 70 hands, UTG is 45/0/.5 after only 20 hands. Neither have shown any intelligence whatsoever in their play so far, cant remember why I thought that specifically, but I had a reason.

Final Pot: 15.50 BB

I think i played this well except I wasnt sure about the flop play. I raised to try to fold UTG, and because I had TPTK. I also wasnt positive about the turn call but i thought there was a good chance I stiill had 5 outs and the pot was big. Comments/constructive flames appreciated on all streets.

Edit: now that i think about it more, I'm equally sure/unsure about all streets. If I could go back I'd play it the same way, however.
