Putting him on the straight is silly. You're either way ahead here or have enough outs to gamble. Get all your money in as fast as you can. This is what No-Limit poker is all about.
I agree, except that at the time I remember have a 'gut feeling' that he had the straight when he went all-in. I had raised it to a buck and then he reraised it another buck - he obviously had something good. But he could easily have just had AA and was playing it really strong, as people tend to do. Folding was not an option, given that I still had outs for boat.
One thing I was wondering about though is how the depth of your/their stack should influence how you play a hand like this. How much is it worth gambling on a single hand when your playing with a 250BB stack? 500BB?
Granted this is .01/.02 so it's not much money, but abstract it to just chips.

Heh, good point. But I appreciate everyone's feedback. I don't feel too bad about how I played this hand now. And I more than won the money back on a similar hand that went my way. 8-)
