I played these pretty badly yes?

MP has been pretty active, stealing quite a few pots.
No read on SB.

UTG has been stealing a few pots, and I tried to push him out with a raise, so I could take on the short stack alone. Bad play?
I have no idea what I was doing on the flop. Call it a brain freeze or sth.
