i guess i probably should have called? cuz i bet a small looking for a raise...

thoughts?

Your initial bet on the flop seems very small. If that's because you would bet the same if you missed (c-bet) then maybe your c-bets are too small in general. If you bet more when you have missed then UTG+1 might just have figured this out after your 3-bet. (Weak=strong)

The flop bet should be more because a flush draw is getting pretty much the immediate odds needed to continue. On a FD board, I would usually bet more like the full pot, whether i am continuation, semibluff, or value betting.

That said, i think the b3b line is fine. Just bet more with the 'B' part.

with that kind of hand i usually lead out with around a pot sized bet. and if i raise pf i almost always come out with that kind of bet if i hit small or miss. just tried something else... that obviously didnt really work..

Make a normal flop bet and after that if he still raises shoving is fine.

As mentioned, the first thing I would have noticed the potential flush draw. Pot is $6.75, I bet something in the range of $3.50 t0 $5 into the pot for a half to about a three quarter pot sized bet. On the raise, I would most likely have done what you did. Maybe not the optimal play in that he folded, but he was showing at least that he had a hand that he was willing to do battle with.

Only other option would have been to call the raise he made and put him allin on the Turn.
