Huge drawing hand -- no idea how to play it.

How on earth did he know he only had 9/47 cards. You can't put someone on a set every time. Not even close.

True, but there are draws and then there are DRAWS. This is a great draw and one that I'd be willing to C/R all-in with. I agree with ScubaChuck here... if you think there's a good chance to get a fold with a C/R all-in, that's what I'd do.

The only thing that would make me hesitant to do this is the relative shortstack of the preflop raiser, who might easily feel pot committed after a continuation bet.

But if I lead the flop, I like leading for less like Chuck says...

Yeah, look for the cheap card. I like a steal if you are heads-up or 2 opponents...4 total is too many I think. Plus, youve got bad position for a steal.

I have found myself being disappointed when everyone folds in hands like this. Then I have to smack myself on the head to remind me that I only had a draw. Me thinks I am mentally overrating draws.

I think there is a huge difference in these hands. Most glaring is the remaining stacks of your opponents, and the ~200 chips in the pot going to the flop.

That being said, you can't be too dissatisfied to just pick up 200 chips at this stage. If you build the pot too big, they aren't gonna fold (which matters when you don't hit).
