$5 NLHE MTT Bounty: First post in this sub-forum, don't make fun of me please.

Sorry, I've not posted a hand so I'm confident this is poor as far as information required. Doing my best though.

Villian 1 raised to 3.5BB from Mid-position.
I called from SB with my KQs.
The BB (Villain 2) called as well.
I don't have a read on either villain. No real history with them.

Flop comes down with an open-ended straight flush draw for me, as well as two overcards.

I check (with intent to check-raise)
Villain 2 raises the pot. he has me covered by about 3 BBs.
Villain 1 folds.

I shove. Villain 2 calls.

Would you have played this any differently and why? Again, sorry if I'm missing relevant information here.

You played well. Who won the hand?

Do not look at the outcome based on this hand. In the long run, your play would be profitable. Play exactly the same way!

You have great equity against any hand, its a draw but as you see with the stats you are the favourite. Anytime you get all the money in the pot as a 62% favourite, its a good thing long term, even though you will still lose 38% of the time. Good hand.

Agree. nice check raise tho

Thanks all! Result was that I lost, which is probably why I brought it up! Appreciate the vote of confidence it felt like the proper play and of course it stings when it doesn't pan out.

Thank you. The villain won- turn and River were bricks.
