Fine as played. Your draw isn't so strong that I'd want to push on the flop, and by the turn you can't lay it down due to the odds even if someone has now picked up the flush draw.

Shove OTF, I'd rather shove and get maximum FE than call off all my money with a straight draw that might be drawing quite slim.

Unless you're pinned as an obvious nutpeddler, I find it hard to believe that you can get fold equity by shoving in a situation where you lead out, got called, got raised by the short stack, and then someone re-raised the short stack. I suspect you will get called quite often if you shove, and will have managed to get all of your money in there behind or with a strong chance of splitting it.

I'd have called the raise on the flop rather than re-raising because you have a draw to the nuts but you've not made your hand yet. You really shouldn't be risking too much when you're hand's not made as it's likely in these situations that the raiser has top or second set.

Another point to consider is that if you called on the flop for your straight draw and the board paired on the turn, I'd abandon the straight draw. As for the turn you were pot committed and had to call.
