Draws facing action

I think I've identified a hole in my game. I've been trying to play my draws more aggressively, but every time someone plays back at me, the only thing I can think of is pushing. How should I be playing these hands?

5- fold to the raise on turn usually unless they are really bad

All of these seem fine.

1) Playing draws OOP sucks. Anyways, 18/13 is fairly TAGG and so the villain must have some idea of what he is doing and is probably decent. He could have a wide range preflop, but on the flop there is a lot of action. The SB [hero] who cold called a raise PF out of the blinds lead the flop, the PFRer called that bet and then the action is to the CO. what hands do we think he is raising here that he would 3bet preflop? He is aggressive enough that he is most likely 3betting JJ+ preflop. It could be JJ, but I have stats similar to his and would typically 3bet from the co depending on the UTG raiser, I wouldnt give a ton of weight to that hand. A set is definitely possible and so is a straight or two pair if he is calling with SCs. I dont think we are ahead enough to push and I probably just fold this one


2) If you put him on KK+ then this is fine


3) Against a shortstack that isnt a maniac this is fairly close and I think its marginal either way.


4) Seems fine

I agree with your analysis. Should I have played it more passively due to the flop texture?
