Lots of draws, but too much raising?

Terrible fold. I would never fold here.

[B Dids]

I'm getting 9:1, I know it's not a great hand, but I think calling here preflop is fine. That's not the question I'm asking.

Why raise the flop ?, bet the turn ?

Yes. I think folding PF here is huge mistake. I guess 1:7 is sufficient taking to mention your position to call.

I've got an OESD on the flop, so I think I'm raising for value- but that's the question. Then I improve to an OESD + Flush draw on the turn, lots of outs (although the flush draw is kinda suspect). I think I like both bets, but I'm not sure- hence the post.

And that nasty fold on the river.

[Trix]

You need 3 callers on both streets to bet for value.

I like the PF call. I used to muck this, but now I love hands like this. They are easy to play and can serve up some great pots when you hit (and are very easy to get away from).

I like a call on the flop. You don't want to drive people out and maybe you can get 4 people to this turn.

If you had called the flop and UTG raised, then I like a turn bet. You might pick up the pot right there as UTG could just have overcards and realizes he might be drawing dead against a set and the SB could release his paired 2 or T(although doubtful on the T). Even if you get raised you have 17 outs (maybe discounted to 14 with the paired board and possibility of a higher flush).

As it turns out, I'm a fish and would call this river as UTG's play screams of overcards and I think I am good against the SB more than 10% of the time.

I like just calling the flop. Raising might not help you get value on the hand, because there's a good chance you knock out would be callers. And there's always the possibility the preflop raiser 3-bets, which is definitely not what you want. Which of course is just what he did...
