Thanks for the reply, made me feel better. You had a good way of putting it as far as saying I took a stand. I never thought of it that way. I just know normally if I have an open-ended straight draw I stay in when maybe I shouldn't because I think I have a good shot at hitting. Then I look at double gutshot which is the same number of outs and try to stay to see. But when I don't hit it makes me feel like maybe I was trying too hard to catch. The stakes were small, .10sb .25bb. So after the flop I had bet .50 and got raised to $1. After the turn cutoff bet $1.50. So at this point I had 17 outs and there was $6.75 in the pot and it was $1.50 to call. So should I look at it as 4-1 with 17 outs so go for it? Or should I look at it as chasing when they probably already have a made hand, chances are good they have 7-8 offsuit since they didn't raise before the flop. Or maybe 3-5/5-6. Overpair? I know everyone goes through the list of what can beat them every hand, sometimes you just have to pay to find out.
