Default clueless

This was about 15 hands into a party 20+2. UTG+1 had yet to raise pf and hadn't done anything noteworthy. MP2 hadn't done much either. Comments on both preflop and flop play appreciated.

Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players : 9
Seat 1: BB (610)
Seat 2: UTG (1840)
Seat 3: UTG+1 (665)
Seat 4: MP1 (625)
Seat 6: MP2 (635)
Seat 7: MP3 (785)
Seat 8: CO (1320)
Seat 9: Button (760)
Seat 10: Hero (760)
Hero posts small blind (15)
BB posts big blind (30)

UTG folds.
UTG+1 raises (150) to 150
MP1 folds.
MP2 calls (150)
MP3 folds.
CO folds.
Button folds.


I can call for set value only if I'm going to take both their stacks when I hit. UTG+1's raise is big enough that I'll give him credit for a real hand, probably one better than mine. I don't think MP2 is trapping with a better pair than mine. I decide to call and see a flop, and then just to play it by ear. Really, though, I have no idea what my plan is when I do this unless I catch a ten. This is where the "clueless" part comes in. What do you do preflop here? What's your plan for the flop? How confident are you in a TT overpair?

Hero calls (135)
BB folds.

Pot is 480, 3 of us to the flop.
** Dealing Flop ** : [ 2h, 4h, 9s ]

Ok, good. Not a set, but otherwise about as good as I'm going to get.

Hero checks.
UTG+1 bets (175)
MP2 calls (175)
Hero raises (610) to 610
Hero is all-In.
UTG+1 calls (340)
UTG+1 is all-In.
MP2 calls (310)
MP2 is all-In.

UTG+1's weak bet gave me the impression I might well be ahead of him, I still didn't think MP2 was trapping, so I pushed. What % of the time am I ahead when they both call me? Also, what's your action if that 9s on the flop is the Js/Qs?
