The main villian here is the MP. He's loose but the deck has been hitting him hard. My read on him is that he's prone to bluff, but he doesn't bet strong, unless he has something.

I'd just raise the flop, and then I'm done putting significant money in unless I improve. Clarify sooner rather than later.

I should have mentioned this. UTG is TAG and possibe 2+2 player, and I respect his raises. I don't think he's c-betting w/o a hand, I figure I may be behind, but since MP called, I call as well.

What about a rr pf?

edit: Just read the post above, then I guess a rr would be kind of stupid.

But what if it was against a random villain?

I like it. We have position on him, and since you know he is 2+2er he will respect our play enough for us to get a feeling on what kind of hand he has.

I am atleast re-raising the flop and will fold to any further aggresion.

I don't really get this. You don't have the odds to draw at 2 outs anyway. If you are ahead, you let them draw cheaply, if you are behind, you are already paying off. I don't think this is a good reason to call.
