Default 50nl: Poorly played draw? Did I live up to my name?

I admit I still suck at finding good times to stack with draws. He wasn't 100bb+ so it was easier getting 3.11 to 1. 7 hands on villian so nothing useful to help me. Edit before post: Ewwww I just saw the call pre-flop. I remember this being limped. I guess I figured I was going 4 handed calling with 5.3 to 1 but CO folded. I just finished PNLHE vol.1 last night and I want to do less calling in bad spots. I worked on it today already. Anyway, comments?

I'd play the flop the same. Fold equity and pot equity and all that. I think PF is standard if they have full stacks, especially if they're bad, but probably a bit thin here. Even though you don't have absolute position, you'll usually have the advantage of being able to check and see how SB reacts to a c-bet before getting involved.

Calling this pf is bad. You're playing a drawing hand OOP against a pfr. Even if you hit your draw it's going to be very difficult to extract any money unless someone else has a monster second-best hand.

I think this is fine as played though, but I probably would have raised flop a little less (somewhere around $9-$9.5).

if you are going to play this hand PF I like a squeeze vs a button raiser and sb caller.

as played don't really like calling the all in, chances are you are drawing to 1 out and the shorty isn't that short at all. I would like this a lot if the board wasn't paired

Also you might consider just calling the flop you are getting extremely good odds and can hit your draw for a cheap price here. Think this will be my line with this hand.
