I'm thinking I should have gone all in after seat 5 raised 3, but since I flopped the straight I could raise on the turn. Well it backfired.

you were an 83.5% favorite against 2pr, consider it like someone going all in with a gutshot and catching. think of it using percentages. although there is a huge chance youre going to win, its still possible you lose.

you played it well though. your check-call shows extreme weakness when you have the nuts on a rainbow flop. you brought out aggression from second best hands and thats EXACTLY what you want. you do NOT want to take down a small pot and you forced them to make errors. in the long run if you force errors like this, you'll be a profitable player. i like the way you played this.
