After I've done some calculations, it looks like the shove was correct... Am I right?

If you were IP you could consider looking for a safe turn but as played you're OOP and risk giving villain a free card if you plan to c/r the turn and he checks back so shoving is best IMO.

Being out of position gives you another option which is to call his raise and shove 100% of turns. You may be able to fold out another straight if a flush or full house hits. You might also fold out a flush draw or higher straight draw if the board pairs on the turn.

Really it comes down to what you think the other guy is raising on the flop. :)

As it is shoving the flop is *never* a bad play, you achieved something really important which was to not give yourself a tough decision on a later street. It's absolutely fine to play the hand as you did.

This is awesome, I like.
