Trying to be helpful here, not a jerk. What was your thinking when you called that tiny flop bet You have just flopped the effective nuts. There's a small bet. I would make an oversize raise here knowing the draw will come along and hoping the trapped guy comes too. This time it got there. Oh well. Make that draw pay.
In HOC (yeah, I know, a book that was released a couple of decades ago), Harrington makes a very cogent argument regarding not being too overly concerned with the draws. In order for the draw to hurt you, your opponent (a) has to have one (which he often doesn't) and (b) hit it (and he will miss it far more often than he hits it). So your big oversize raise is targeting something that will only hurt you like 5% of the time... and meanwhile you destroy yourself when you run into a better hand (which is a much more realistic possibility).

I have come to consider ‘gg thinking’ in bet-sizing. I used to only think as far as I can blow him off his hand and fire away. This works until you get trapped. Winning a lot of little pots, then losing a big one is not the best way to go.
Avoiding value owning myself is worth taking a look at whether the sizing is out of sync. The exploitative use of fold equity is not always enough, when better hands will not fold and worse hands will not call.
