Final Pot: $36.06

I decided to try a steal her PF. I floped the straightdraw, bet out and get minraised.

I thoght the turncard was an improfment and that I might be ahead now or drawing to 10 outs. I decided to go for a checkraise.

What do you think?

In the sense that you ended up getting nearly 100 BBs in with second pair, I'd say your results weren't too good, but that's what happens sometimes when you're playing an aggressive game of chicken, and you did also have some outs to a much stronger hand that you missed.

Personally, I probably would just check-call the turn and try to get to showdown UI without paying too much more, with the plan of donk-betting any river card that gave me trips or better.
