Defending big blind with 3 card draws (2-7 3d)

[roggles]

The setting is a multitable tournament in 2-7 3d. The limits are fairly high, 300/600 and my stack is about 6000*.

The button-1 is a very aggressive player and he raises on my big blind. I have 2-4-2-x-x and even though this is of course not a hand I'd normally play I think it is worth defending my blind with it so I call the raise. I get lucky and get 2-3-4-7-x in the first draw. He draws two, so I bet. On my second draw I hit a 6, and he calls down two more bets letting me take home quite a big pot.

Now, the raiser gets really angry at me afterwards, saying that I am a donkey for calling a raise and drawing 3. Is he right? In cash game I always call one raise on the big blind with 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-7 and hope to improve quickly. Sometimes I will play 2-6, but usually not since I am in big enough trouble drawing 3 already. Is this a terrible play?

*It was a $22 WCOOP satellite. I ended up getting a seat to the $215 event, but I cashed it out in W$ because my 2-7 game is not that solid. Those turbo blinds really make it all ridiculous. You can't afford to lose two hands in a row.
