Final Pot: $10.56

Reads: UTG and CO are new to the table (30ish hands). BB is 14.3/3.3/inf over 90 hands. I'm playing a tight 12/7 ish sort of game.

Is a flat call preflop acceptable here? I thought another raise would turn my cards face up. I was hoping for a 2-3way pot on the flop and I assumed that CO's raise would achieve that. Is that usually the case?

On the flop I didn't know what UTGs tiny bet meant, I assumed not a lot. I assumed CO's pot-ish sized bet and his PF action indicated he had a big pocket pair like KK/QQ. I raised in hope of stacking CO. Is that okay?

After BB pushes and everyone else folds is calling okay? Has he/she got a draw (flush or OESD) enough here to make a call +EV? I think so but i'm not sure, so i'm putting it to you.

Thanks in advance
