Discussion:
I make a standard cold call on the button with 44 and flop a set. The CO bets about ¾ pot and I raise 2.5x his bet since there are several draws on the board. The BB folds and the CO calls my raise. The turn completes the OESD. The CO checks to me and I over-bet shove for about 2x pot and the CO tanks for a while and eventually folds. I hate the way I played this – if he got there with the OESD, I’m toast. I think a major reason I shoved was because I had another big hand on another table and didn't take the time to think through all my options.
Is this a bad play? How could I have played this better?

Unless you have a very odd opponent, your shove contorts their calling range to hands that beat you.
