I think this is the wrong spot to go for overcalls. UTG+2 liked his hand enough to raise the turn. He could have 2 pair, a set, or a straight here. He will most likely call if you raise, and may even 3-bet.

Yeah I forgot to mention that. I wasnt sure what to do here against an unknown when i hit my hand. I think a raise pushes out the other 2 and I gain 1 bet from the turn raiser...but gain 2 if i get both of them overcalling. Tough to decide in like 4 seconds so I thought I would try the overcalls instead....

i definitely raise there with only 2 to follow, with the flush hitting don't think both will typically call and if one of them calls, it is the same as me raising the initial raiser... I especially feel this way because he popped the turn.
