Anything wrong with this play?

(1/4) > >>

AceOnTheRiver:
Playing the SCOOP (L) $22 6-max, approx 3 hours in with around 18 x bb.

My image is reasonably tight and I have folded to a few pre-flop 4-bets having opened, however the villain hasn"t been at our table too long.

In this hand the villain opens for a min-raise from MP and I call from the BB with 78o - we are heads up.

I check the 256 rainbow flop and he leads out with a pot sized bet.

I shove over the top with my open-ended straight draw.

Thoughts?

AMRN:
with 18xBB, and in the need of action, I would probably take exactly this line. He may fold out a lot of hands that are miles ahead of you; if he calls with overcards you are racing; and if he calls with an overpair you still have a decent bunch of outs. 

Nowt wrong here.

deanp27:
what else are you going to do if you call a raise with 78o this shallow and flop half the world for your hand?

there is realistically no other line you can take, certainly in the absence of opponent reads

AceOnTheRiver:
Thanks for the responses Steve & Dean.

For me it was pretty straightforward too - as Dean says if you call and hit that flop what else are you going to do?

The reason I posted was the abuse I received in the chatbox when the villain called with 54 (54!!) giving me more outs than I thought and I spiked the 7.

Given this reaction I wanted to canvass opinion - Thanks again

deanp27:
don"t worry what losing villains say lol
