Good example of a hand that I am clueless about. I'd love to hear critiques on the way I thought it through, so I tried to be clear about my thought process at each point in the hand.

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♠ K♠
UTG raises to 3.5 BB, Hero calls 3.5 BB, fold, fold, SB raises to 14 BB, fold, UTG calls 10.5 BB, Hero calls 10.5 BB
Flop: (43 BB, 3 players) 4♦ 9♦ T♦
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks
Turn: (43 BB, 3 players) 7♣
SB bets 19 BB, UTG calls 19 BB, Hero calls 19 BB
River: (100 BB, 3 players) Q♣
SB bets 82.1 BB and is all-in, UTG raises to 100.4 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 100.4 BB
Thought Process:
1. Am I supposed to call the 3bet squeeze preflop? I know that's a huge show of weakness but it seems like I'm priced into calling (getting ~3:1 odds).
2. On flop, seems like clear C4, so I check behind.
3. Now that I have 2 outs to a straight, hand is likely C3. However, after SB bets and UTG calls, I need 20% equity to call. I'm ~16% to hit the straight, but figure my implied odds are good enough if I do hit that I should just flat.
4. Here I need 26% equity to call. My (very basic) read was that they both had sets/two pairs - it seems like SB can easily lead turn with QQ, and UTG might play this way with 77 or T9s. I wasn't considering the possibility for flushes here (obviously a mistake to not consider it) but do we play any differently taking flushes into account?
