You hit 2 pair on the flop with a straight draw. That means that the flop was 5-2-? If that 3rd card was a 3 or 4, you still only had 3 to a straight. I don't consider that a draw, 4 to a straight is a draw. And even if you hit your straight, you would be playing the board and have a pretty weak hand. Best you could do is chop. The only was around this is if the flop came 4-4-5. Then you still would have had a weak hand with only 3 to a straight.
I'm not complaining about your 2 pair. Even better if that turned into a boat. But in a situation like that, don't even think about a straight. I'd be curious to see the betting pattern on that hand.
