Some might say to check the flop and try raising a late position bettor, but I think the way you played it is fine. I'd call down too.

Looks good to me

Definitely don't fold here. Leading flop is okay, and calling the raise is fine too. When it gets 3-handed on the turn and a safe card comes, I actually like leading the turn. Especially don't want to give the flop raiser a free card if he's looking to check it through, and there's a good chance you are ahead here.

Am I thinking too aggressive here or couldn't you 3-bet on the flop? There are straight and flush draws out there that someone could be raising. It would be awful to give a free card on the turn. And if he caps it, I can release on the turn saving myself 1.5 BB's. Then I become the aggressor on the turn and river, and most likely I won't get raised at any point. If I get raised on the turn, I can release, if on the river I call and lose 1.5 BB's with this strategy. But I think I will save 1.5 BB's more often than I will lose it. Of course sometimes the person may call down with a stronger T, but that only costs me an extra 0.5 BB, and sometimes a stronger hand will let go, being highly profitable.

Tempted to 3bet the flop. Seems like MP2 might be raising with a draw on this board.

If he's on a draw, the turn didn't complete it. There is no sense in not taking a free card closing the action on the turn. Infinite odds to hit your draw are much, much, better than betting.
