Default Suited connectors, big hand

Hey all, this is my first post so bare with me on some of the notation and junk.

So I was playing in a pretty small game last night(in person), quarter chips, $0.25/$0.50 blinds, and here's a hand I need some feed back on.

Me-button-$15.50
Rick-$7
Bo-$35 loose and reckless, has been hitting monsters all night
Steve-$22
Jon-$5
Andy-$12

i look down at 5/6 suited (s)
steve calls, jon folds, 3 calls, one check ($2.5 in pot)
the flop comes 5c,6c,7h
rick checks, bo bets $1.50, steve calls, jon folds, andy calls, I raise to $3, rick folds, bo calls, everyone else folds. ($11.5 in pot)
the turn is a Kh, Bo bets $2, i go all in with $10 after making the call. bo stalls for a while...

did i make the right moves? any feed back, positive or negative would be appreciated.

you gotta raise more on the flop. your hand is really vurnurable and open to a lot of draws. shut them out immidiately.

that said, i wouldn't have pushed this turn. call and see approach works for me at this point.

either

a) raise to 5-6 on the flop

or

b) raise allin on the flop

i like b here it helps more with future action and i'm not sure you want a call more than you want the money in the pot

that's a terrible flop. i'd have either folded on the flop, or raised like you did. i would certainly have folded on the turn.

EDIT: nevermind, call the turn and hope the river boats you up...i didn't notice his bet was so small...

Well, i'll put a different spin on this...

Lets assume Bo has a draw, and hes a gambler. Hes been spiking cards all night and is just SURE hes gonna hit. Well, then, go all in on the flop. Not to shut anyone out, but to capitalize on their bad habits.
