Default Heads up in Stars turbo 15+1

Sorry that I'm too much of an OOTiot to know how to use the hand converter. (I tried.)

PokerStars Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII
(200/400) 9-max Seat #7 is the button
Seat 1: Me (6900 in chips)
Seat 7: Him (6600 in chips)
Me: posts the ante 25
Him: posts the ante 25
Him: posts small blind 200
Me: posts big blind 400
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Me [8h 5d]
Him: calls 200
Me: checks
*** FLOP *** [9s Jh 7c]
Me: checks
Him: bets 400
Me: raises 1200 to 1600
Him: raises 4575 to 6175 and is all-in

Now what?

In the last 10 hands or so, I've been pushing a lot, and have had to show down some pretty crappy cards.

How bad was my play so far in this hand and what's my play now?

If I fold, I'll have something like 12BB against his 23BB.
If I call, I'll have at least the 8 outs that fill my double gutter as well as probably a few runner-runner trips or two pairs (although he might have some of those beat already).

Is this an easy play that I'm just missing?

Why not just call flop? You're not really deep enough to be pulling semi-bluffs unless you're just going to push.

Personally I bet 600 on the flop to try and take it down there. Pretty much folding to any raise, you only have 8 outs and 8-high. And still not in desperately bad shape at all.

As played, fold to his push.
