Default My \"bad\" play

So, I was playing poker the other night with some friends and the following happened. I was on the button with 56. The players I played against were generally willing to give up anything besides a draw or top pair or better on the flop. The guy to my right raised preflop which was fine with me because I knew I could almost certainly steal the pot once the flop came out. I called about 60 cents. Everyone folded to the player to his right who raised it to 2 dollars. I looked at him and decided his hand was borderline for that raise. The guy to my right called and so did I (I thought that I would be able to steal the pot almost certainly when the flop came with low cards because I was sure no one had a high pair). The flop came T43 and to my suprzie the reraiser preflop bets 10 dollars. The pot is about 8 right now. The guy to my right quickly folds. I try to decide what I should do I have 13 dollars and the other guy has me covered. I really think (like 85%) that this guy is just taking a stab at the pot. I also think that my hand can pick up a pair or the strait and be good, so I figure to be even money if my read is correct. And worst case, he has top pair, I still have a 1/3 chance of picking up the strait. He definately doesn't have a set. I figure that my choices are to fold EV=0 or move in knowing he would call me. I calculated the EV assuming my read was 85% accurate is positive when he calls my all in. But at the time I just estimated the EV. I moved in, he called. Was this play correct? I certainly think it was, but I don't mind being told otherwise, but please give me reasons. Thanks all [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
