Tricky flop
Playing a live 1/2 NL ring game. I'm UTG+2 and get dealt pocket 7 . I limp in, but a player 2 seats on my left raises to $6. A total of 5 players, including myself and the SB call the raise to see the flop. the flop comes 6,7,8 with 2 hearts, giving me a set. The SB goes all in for $48. I think for a second and assumes that he may not have a straight, that he could be protecting 2 pairs or having a flush draw, but to avoid any competition I reraise to $135. Everyone else folds and the SB turns over 4,5 off suit for a flopped straight. Did I make the right decision here? I felt that I still had 6 outs to draw a boat. Eventually got no help and lost the hand. But is that the right way of thinking about this? Thanks for your thoughts.

Have you played with the SB much? Does he donk bet a lot? Maybe it is just me, but that seems like a pretty fishy play, jamming right out of the gate with that many players in the pot. To me there would be a lot more ambiguity if the button raised big after it checked around.
She had just joined the game no more than an hour prior. She didn't seem to have much of a playing style
Don't forget about making quads -- you actually have 7 outs total. On the turn you will pick up an additional 3 outs. All in all you'll win more than 1/3 of the time, even when you are up against a straight.
You're right about the 7th out , so was it the right play or did it make more sense to fold when she shoved?
