I ended up folding but seemed like I played it pretty weakly for such a big draw. I figured a lot of my outs might not be good and I wouldn't really know where I stood or be able to get more money in if I did hit being out of position. Thoughts?

These are arguments in favor of playing the flop very fast, not cautiously.

time to fold

your big draw is likely to be a huge underdog if money goes in on turn. calling with draw on turn that will commit you on river is not an option

your draw is not as big as it looks.

There are definitely arguments for this. . . but I wouldn't play it fast in this case. I normally play big draws like this fast when I definitely have 15 clean outs and/or lots of fold equity. Definitely don't have that here. And like lapoker and AZK said, it's def not as strong as it looks.

Time to fold, well played

I agree and I wasn't arguing for playing it fast. Just pointing out a flaw in the thinking.

Flush draw, double gutter to the ignorant end of the straight, bottom pair on turn. 20 outs if they're all clean!

A fold is fine though, because they're not.
