My thoughts on the hand. In a tournament, I'd play it exactly this way. I have the best hand and I'm jamming my chips in there. In a cash game, depending on the opponent I'd play it very different.
In an un-raised pot in a BB vs SB battle, I'd fold 45s preflop in a snap. The only real value is the implied odds multi-way. To a 4BB raise against the BB, I'd also fold it in a snap against any opponent. On the flop, it a super tricky spot with the worst of everything. Bottom pair, wrong end of a straight draw and baby (straight) flush draw. Lately I've been thinking, do we sometimes get drawn to the excitement of 2 outs to a beautiful straight flush? Out of position, I'd check and see what my opponent does. Whether I'm going to commit my stack then depends entirely on my opponent, but considering I know I need to hit I'm likely to fold. It's probably a big leak in my game...
I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, just a different approach. The latter is what works for me.
