Default 10/180: c-bet or check behind on str8 draw board after pfr

Hi. We are at 12/180 now, and blinds have just went up.
I've been raising almost each hand when folded to me in late position in the previous level and hade been doing a lot of aggressive moves on the bubble.
How would you played this hand?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t19480)
SB (t19697)
BB (t11620)
UTG (t29991)
MP1 (t34056)
MP2 (t18026)
CO (t24349)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>....

Flop: (t6450) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t15805 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t7945 (All-In).

Oh, and villian was pretty tight, once called my allin with AA vs XX on the bubble, that how he got his stack.

I would check behind, if villian is tight he isn't calling you with nothing. Your hand offers alot of deception as he is probably putting you on nothing, or overcards. If you check behind and ur straight card comes and u shove or make a raise he is calling you with a wide range of hands. Not only could he have a good hand, but he is excepting you to bet with a wide range of hands which makes the check raise bluff alot easier to pull off, and to be pulled of with a high consistencey of the opponent folding.

Personally i feel this is the correct play!

8 times out of 10 they will fold. and even if they call you have outs.

i check/call here u have no need to shove ur read on him is tight and he put a third of his stack in if so hes probably go t a decent pair. If he shoves i fold but if he leads and if im getn the right odds i call and hope to hit the turn and get his stack. But shovin is a horrible play but wit ur read on villain he probably has u and hes probably callin

If you are willing to call an all in. Then why not make the move yourself? This increases he chances of winning the hand.
To say shoving is a horrible play i dont get. Its not like you are deep. there is nothing to be gained from check calling if you are going to call all in.

He's folding way too often to a shove for it not to be the right play. I guess against some villians you can bet like 5-6K if you think it'll look scarier to them, but shove is good.
