6-max rookie lost pre-flop and beyond

[pshabi]

UTG - no read
MP - 30/15/5 after only 60. Hasn't gotten out of line yet. Seems solid.

I'm totally lost here preflop? What do I do?

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP 3-bets</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG caps</font>, MP calls, Button calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (16.33 SB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises</font>

Button folds and it's on me. Great.

Probably should've lead the flop. Can I safely put MP on AA-JJ and lay down? Should I 3-bet? Should I quit poker?

think of how much easier this would be to play if you had of capped preflop, then led the flop....
