Not aggressive enough or result oriented?

Reads:
MP1: loose aggressive when he gets any piece of the flop. typically follows to river.

MP2: LP. if he gets a part of the flop, he stays on the chance he's good. not aggressive.

What would i change about my play?
1. Reraise Flop. i have 4 outs to a straight and 2 for the tens. I want to get it HU and face the field with cold call of 2 to eliminate any backdoor draws.

2. Raise the turn. my read on opponents say they're either drawing or staying 'til river anyways.

3. check the river. i bet riposa has a straight and i want smiley to stay in, so i shouldn't have faced him with 2 calls.

what do you guys think?

Just call the flop. You said yourself that MP1 & MP2 hang around when they catch the flop. There's a Q and a J out there, and they are betting/calling. Your T's are probably behind, but you've got 6 outs to trips or better.

Raise the turn! You are only behind to KT! Great position, they've both called a BB - double it up! Hit 'em right between the eyes!

Nice river.
