Would you call off all of your stack chasing an open ended straight draw?
Some history. $5 HU on P*. Hand number 8. I have pocket Tens, standard raise to 60. Dumb A$$ bumps it up to 100, I call the 40. Flop comes, I hit a set, he bets, I push. See below.
Did I make the wrong play? Should I have just called the flop and pushed the turn? I am not putting him on a flush draw and I'm trying to protect my set.

What makes this worse is one of his friends is on the rail, and 5 hands after this beat, he's ragging on me. Fun times.
