Thanks for the responses people! So three saying call and two saying shove so far? (He had 88 for middle set btw.) Actually since I'd only observed him for one hour it would be more accurate to label him tight-unknown than tight passive, so he could be capable of anything really. I tend to lean towards calling myself now I have to say, though since his money seemed to go in fairly confidently at the time I'm still not sure if I could have put him on only sets or strong draws (such as TcJc) in which case folding might be possible as well.
If you call and check the turn, you are giving a free card to all draws (that’s giving the V correct price for draws)...I think you did the only option available...the only way calling the flop may be better is if the turn completes a draw (any scare card), him holding what he had, and it goes c/c to river...but that’s unlikely...
I don’t think you could have played this any differently....
