Default What do you do when you flop a good draw?

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:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>

Button (t645)
SB (t1600)
Hero (t1115)
UTG (t800)
UTG+1 (t715)
MP1 (t730)
MP2 (t920)
CO (t1475)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t30, CO calls t30, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks,

Flop: (t120) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t55</font>, Hero ?

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.
