HU Hyper - Too Aggro?

What do people think of my shove? I know alot of people will make that flop raise with a FD, straight draw or even just 2 overs thinking I'm on the steal.

The pot is big enough now that I'm happy to just take it down and have a decent edge over him for the rest of the game, but I also know I get calls from some players with these draws or overs and am happy to take the race as a favourite.

Thoughts?

    You can call the raise and let another card come if you like. I've just had a look at your odds against a flush draw and two overs: Against Qd8d you're a very marginal dog, though it's almost a perfect flip.

    Getting it in here is fine in my opinion, though, since you will never really know which are the bad cards for you on the turn. That's definitely what I'd do on a wet board like this. The raise could easily have come from second pair, a flush draw, straight draw or just two overs taking a shot at the pot. You're unlucky to run into a made straight.

    The value of the 180 in the middle added to the chance of being called by a draw probably make this +ev. If you were deeper I'd definitely prefer a call... but you're not deeper so I think this is fine.
