Was this too strong? I flopped a monster draw here but can't be sure how many hands are good. Should I have tried to extract more chips by c/r the turn all in?

Thanks. I must have been reading too much TJ Cloutier...

Guess that's a play I'd have considered in a smaller buy in, maybe i'm playing scared a bit (satellite qualifier).

Already passed up a beautiful semi-bluff opportunity with an open ended str flush draw and now this...
