Re: Is calling OK here?
If it were heads-up I would call it down, but with EP still in the hand I would three-bet, in an attempt to knock him out. I think EP most likely has a pair of K's or 9's plus a gutshot. If you just call he has odds to call in an attempt to hit his 6-outer, so you should raise to knock him out. Plus, there is a decent chance that you have the best hand, as MP could have been slowplaying a T that is weaker than yours. If MP calls your three-bet, you are most likely ahead, and if he four-bets, you are almost certainly behind. If MP four-bets, call and give strong consideration to folding if you don't fill up on the river. If EP has a straight, you have 10 outs to fill and if he is full himself you have 3 outs.
