i had lots of draws and i wanted to make them decide. i was really suprised to get 2 callers. i didnt know that i was actually the favorite after the flop even when i only had draws. but my hand simulator actually tells me i was a pretty huge favorite.

I hope you were surprised by 2 callers, but not upset. Whenever you are drawing to the nuts, you want lots of callers. I like your play and I don't think it is too aggressive. I may even to venture to say that this play is standard. That flop looks pretty damn good to me. And you'd be silly not to get all-in on the flop. Calling and waiting for the turn is a bad play IMO. Folding is weak tight.
