Default top set on a recently nutty table.

The scene: the blinds are at 100/200 and the rebuy monkeys have busted out, the rebuy period having ended a few minutes ago. (it's the sunday night $20k guaranteed $10+1 with rebuys)

Average stack in the tournament is about 8k, but our table had rebuy monkeys, so we're looking like this:
Button (t24750)
SB (t25425)
BB (t15955)
UTG (t31585)
UTG+1 (t11275)
MP1 (t8295)
MP2 (t14800)
Hero (t18665)
CO (t27305)

Things are getting a little calmer, but the table still has dangerously high gambol levels. I haven't been gambling, I've been involved in a total of two pots that were bigger than the blinds.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls t400, BB calls t300.

Flop: (t1500) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t1500</font>, SB calls t1500, BB folds.

I try to figure out what this flat pot-sized call could mean... my first thoughts are: flush draw, overcards, or a pair, pocket or otherwise. Anything more than that, and I'd be getting raised.

Turn: (t4500) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
SB checks,

What do you do?

Default Results

in the actual hand, i overbet the pot, got raised and was pot-committed, and so ended up all-in on the turn.

opponent had 67o for the straight.

this was a bad post. at the time i was just contemplating if it was possible to not go broke there, and i've since realized that against that particular opponent.. there's no way I could've folded. The only thing I could've done is overbet the flop to kill odds on the straight draw.
