$11 Level 5 - good push?

I feel like I've been missing a lot of pushes lately, but I'm wondering if I got too aggressive here. The table is playing fairly tight and my image is also pretty tight.

Was this a good push?

Villain turned over 77 - was he right to call?

sngpt says they have to be calling very tight for this to be +EV. i had the button calling a little looser than the rest (22+, A2+, any 2 broadways), with the blinds calling a bit tighter, and it's only +.2%, so i'm probably passing. i'd probably push this if we were at like t900 or less.

also if i were villain i'm probably calling with 77, fwiw.
