Default Interesting hand with KQo

If you look at first it may seem like I was really donking this hand up. But in reality I think I played it well, but there are a few things that could be disputed over.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (12 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, Hero calls, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG caps</font>, Hero calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Turn: (13 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

River: (16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero Raises</font>, BB calls, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 16 BB

First, is the pf raise. Some might argue that I should just call but I like to raise and since 5/10 is so loose-passive I think a raise is better.

Second, is calling 2 cold on the flop. I'm pretty sure that calling 2 cold here is not right due to the fact there is a flush draw out there, but I'm not sure. Anyway, after calling 2 cold on the flop I have to call the cap, right?

So on the river I just call going for the overcall (because I'm not sure if UTG has a set or not). But then out of nowhere BB raises and UTG flat calls. I know then that he doesn't have a set and if BB had a boat he would have raised the turn, soooooooooooooo I figure I can safely 3-bet the river knowing my straight is good. Man am I tricky or what?
