Default Expensive Draws

Here is a STT hand on PP where I busted out early. Any comments are appreciated.

***** Hand History for Game 1199942413 *****
30/60 TourneyTexasHTGameTable (NL) (Tournament 7312238) - Sat Nov 20 02:57:08 EST 2004
Table Table 12215 (Real Money) -- Seat 7 is the button
Total number of players : 7
Seat 2: uncphulk (845)
Seat 3: jmoney001 (650)
Seat 6: FujiHeavy (2105)
Seat 7: pudd12 (620)
Seat 8: smacau2 (800)

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to RobGW [ 9h, 8h ]
RobGW calls (30)
uncphulk raises (60) to 60
jmoney001 folds.
FujiHeavy calls (60)
pudd12 folds.
smacau2 folds.
garygnu11 calls (30)
RobGW calls (30)
Easy call here.
** Dealing Flop ** : [ Th, 7c, Qd ]
garygnu11 checks.
Now what? OESD with backdoor flush possibility. 2 players behind, including the PF raiser.
RobGW bets (100)
I decided this pot was worth going for. Should I have checked it or bet more?
uncphulk raises (275) to 275
FujiHeavy calls (275)
garygnu11 folds.
Now what? I have 5:1 odds so I should at least call. If I call then that leaves me $490 and I have to decide what to do on the turn as well. I decide this is it and go for the triple up. I know they won't fold but I presume my outs are good and I am low on chips anyway. Should I have folded, called, or is the push correct?
RobGW raises (490) to 590
RobGW is all-In.
uncphulk calls (315)
FujiHeavy calls (315)

What kind of mess did I get myself into? Am I gambling too much or is this just an unavoidable situation? I was thinking that at PP the blinds go up so quickly, that I needed something to happen so I just went for it. My overall results have been very mixed. Sometimes I win a few in a row and then I will bust out many times in a row. I am making too much of this play?
