What do you do when you flop a good draw?

[ddubois]

I get the impression from reading Burtman's articles on pokerpages that it's a not-unusal occurance to semi-bluff draws in high-level tuornament play. I suppose in "real" tournaments, people fold more often, making those semi-bluffs more powerful? Because I don't see the play advocated here much, if ever.

That said, how would you play this:

Also, what do you do if it is checked to you?

Fold, the pot is still small, its early on and if you raise you might not lose the guy with a pair of aces.

I routinely make a decent bet if I flup a good (nut) flush draw. I rarely make the same play with OESD, as I count my Ace as an out often with the flush draw.

I play my draws pretty aggressively and normally win the pot before the draw ever has a chance to hit. I don't know if I'm playing this right, however, or costing myself some money on the rare instance I do get called or when I would make more by actually letting the draw play out.
