I dont know if folding was the best thing to do or not?

hmm. i can't decide on this one. i actually think you played it ok, if you decide to play it preflop. i'm thinking this one is better off folded preflop. blinds are tiny, not many people left, obviously this table is extremely aggressive/loose/bad. wait a few hands and try to catch a better hand and wait for another person to bust so maybe people will tighten up. you don't need to get involved in an expensive pot with a speculative hand/expensive draw like this.

Fold preflop. Too expensive to get involved with middle SC.
Check/fold or Check/call the flop depending on what he bets.
Gotta fold the turn, you likely have only 8 outs if that. You can still make a comeback with your 600+ chips.

Suited connectors in the small blind with a called 4xBB raise? Nah.

Definitely fold preflop. Suited connectors should call only about a min-raise or so. You want to see the flop cheap.

Once you're in, you made some ok plays. The semi-bluff is fine, except that your bet was a tad on the small side if you're actually trying to get him out. You had to call the reraise (getting great odds), and you had to fold the turn (not getting remotely decent odds).

Fold preflop. Your third biggest stack at the table, small blinds, big raise. There's just no need to play SC's. You got time to find better place to put your chips in.

If only you had the ability to move threads like these to the appropriate forum.

oh, and it's an obvious fold preflop. Hand strength is naturally low and only becomes moderate when it flops a draw (which is rare) and you're oop AND commiting way too many chips on earlier streets.

i mean the post is suitable for both so we will leave it here, but for future posts he now knows better.

Your preflop call is usually wrong ... you really want at least 5:1 odds or better position to make that call ... you had 2:1 odds and worst position possible. That said, both of the other people in the pot have deep stacks, and at a table that gives a lot of action post-flop, your pre-flop call could be profitable.
I really don't like betting on the flop ... you only have 2 opponents, and your draw isn't to the nuts or near nuts, so this bet only has value as a semi-bluff, but the problem is you probably need to make about a pot-sized bet to chase anyone out, and that makes it even worse odds for you if you get a caller ... with a nice size stack, I'd save chips, hope for a cheap turn card, and wait for a better spot faced with a sizable bet. Once you are raised, the call was absolutely correct ... you had great odds there.

The turn fold was also absolutely correct.
