Your preflop raise has him calling 3x BB from the BB; I think a lot of players would call a suited connector from here, knowing that he can take your stack if he hits (though with the small party blinds this is less correct). He chances his arm with a pretty poor bet on the flop in case you have AK, then you don't bet enough to take him off his draw. He makes a poor lead on the turn, perhaps trying to defend his draw (that was his worst play, I think) and then calls with odds to catch his draw. I think his only really bad plays were the leads on the flop and the turn, and in the great scheme of things these were not as abysmal as some plays you'll see on the $100 tables and above.
You made one mistake that was easily as bad as any he made - your weedy raise on the flop. If you were prepared to get all in on this hand you should have just raised the pot and not worried about getting pot committed. Perhaps he would have folded and you wouldn't have been posting this hand.
