Lately while grinding, I find myself not knowing how to approach playing draws. I will list some examples below, but in general here is the issue. If I am first to act and decide to bet my draw at the fishy 2NL tables, i get more callers than I would like, whif on the next card, and then I REALLY don't know what to do. If I decide to check my draw, someone bets enough so that I don't have odds to call with relation to the pot (I have realized most of my poker "schooling" is limit based).

So can someone point me to a good article, or just let me know a good section of a book, or post in this thread how you typically play draws...

1. When first to act?
2. When last?
3. vs. multiple opponents?
4. vs. few op. or HU?
5. Big pot?
6. small pot?

Obviously there are a ton of possible situations, and maybe nobody will want to take the time to discuss this, but if you don't ask you won't know. In general, the fact there are no limits makes it tough for me to play when I don't have a "made hand".
I think you need to take your analysis a step further.

How would you play a 4 out draw in all 6 of those situations?

How about an 8 or 9 out draw?

What about 13-15 outs?

21 confirmed outs?

Play differs greatly on the flop, than the turn, DUCY?

What about your opponents? Are they bluffy? Weak/tight? Spewtardedly aggressive? Can you get your moneys worth out of them if you catch good, or do you need the pot to totally justify your outs?

Most importanlty: Do they have the stack to justify the call when you're on a draw, and do you think you can get Break-even or better out of them when you do catch?
For a minute there I thought someone changed the title of my post to "let talk about avatars". Thanks for a real reply Ragnar. I understand why play will differ greatly between the flop and turn, as you still have two cards to come vs. one. And I also realize that there are many types of draws like you point out, buy I wasn't sure anyone would answer if I made the question that in depth...
