Is a squeeze here std from the BB

Raiser is 18/21 over 150 (Raising 25% from CO), 70% fold to 3b, flatter is 19/14 and SB is new to table. I have a relatively tight image.

Is flatting and taking a multiway pot better? Not alot of cash exp, and looking to get a bit more aggro in my play.

first he's MP not CO and his range will change a nonzero amount here.

i like the idea that you're trying to be more aggressive, and it's a good hand to use (out of position), but some of the equity comes from being able to play the hand postflop. i'd advise looking for places where a taggy (21/18 is fine) co/btn opens, and you get this hand in the sb/bb, then you can give it a try. if you squeeze here it's likely mp or btn flats, and if they do then sb is coming along for the ride.

you're getting nice odds with a hand that plays well in a multiway pot, just flat and take a flop.

Flat and fold is more than one over card flops, if not, play some poker..

Your play here is fine. The key is having a good post-flop game to back up your squeeze. This takes time to perform effectively but you are off to a good start.
