First, Is it appropriate to post hands that we know we made mistakes in? Is it okay if I review what I think I did wrong to see if I am making the correct adjustments?

I think I obviously should have raised pre-flop. I think it may have been a misclick. Otherwise it was just a bonehead mistake.
Then, as played, on the flop I overvalued my draw. It is only a gutshot, not openended (for the straight draws), so it is not nearly as valuable as I had at first thought. I think I should have called with my otherwise really good outs.
Am I thinking about this in the right way?
