I meant to fold this pre-flop but misclicked, and found myself feeling pretty good about my mistake. How do you guys think I handled it?

Did you misclick preflop, or on the flop. Your opponent couldn't find a raise preflop, but liked the flop enough to bet it. You could very well be drawing to two outs in a tiny pot. Give it up here. After you make the full house, you did fine.

Bob - I may be a little wrong here, but I'll often bet into a board like this from either blind with a flush draw, no matter how big or small(depending on the table type, of course - more likely to do it on a tight table). The only problem I can see here is: When the blinds bet out, in a situation like this, would'nt it be better to raise than call? Especially from EP....?

Even if you are ahead, the rest of the players, probably have a bunch outs against you. The pot is tiny, there are still two players left to act, and I am sure that I can find a better place to get involved.

I misclicked pre-flop. I didn't note in my post, but the BB was in the gray area between loose-aggressive and total maniac, so I assumed his bet meant 'I have two cards in front of me'. That being said, as it turned out, I was drawing to two outs, so my read wasn't accurate or useful.
