Not really, he doesn't even have enough to call the reraise here, so your raise is fine.

You overlooked the straight possibility?? Please, only straight draw was a gutshot and he didn't play it like that, so there's no reason to give him credit for a straight. Looks more like a weaker Queen than anything else.
