You're playing NLHE $1/$3. Your stack is $160. You're seated in the small blind holding KQs. CU raises to $10, BB calls. You reraise to $40. CU/BB both call. Flop comes QTT. You catch a backdoor flush draw, no community cards are suited to one another. Pot is $123, your stack is $120. Youre UTG, what's your move?

I will reveal how this hand played out after I get some feedback. Also I am open to criticism on my preflop play.

I think the pre flop play is ok. I think you meant the other 2 guys called your raise BB cant call 40 before you made it 40 1st. in the SB.

Flop looks like a check call if the betting does not get cray cray.
You probably want to see low turn and river cards and take it to the river and or see betting that is not getting crazy.
AT KT QT are holdings the other guys could have that have you beat .

As the action was described I doubt they Hold AA or KK.....QQ and TT are also unlikely given the cards on Flop.

Youre UTG, what's your move?

SB acts before BB preflop. Therefore it is impossible for the BB to call the CU raise before you 3! to $40. Also you cannot be SB & UTG simultaneously. From your post it seems like you’re a beginner in poker. Could you try to restructure the hand history so that replies could be more helpful?
