No reads, this is the first hand I played at the table. Wasn't really sure about what to do with this hand. 3-bet preflop?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif. CO posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls, UTG+1 raises, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO (poster) calls, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif (5 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, UTG raises, UTG+1 3-bets, UTG+2 calls, CO folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Once it was 3-bet I was pretty sure I was up against a higher pair, but with the gutshot was it worth the call? Not sure about how I played it the rest of the way.

Turn: (11.75 BB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

River: (14.75 BB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

Final Pot: 14.75 BB
Main Pot: 14.75 BB, between Hero, UTG and UTG+1.

Have to raise the flop, I dont mind the not three betting pre flop as you are not going to narrow the field as most of them already called 2 bets and you are out of position rest of the hand.

If the flop comes back to you capped after your raise then you can probably get away from this or fold the turn unimproved, especially when the K comes.

I dont like the turn call, your gutshot outs are not all clean and UTG could be looking to check raise again behind you.
