Default Turn a straight but fear a possible better straight

Cake Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Cake-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($24.90)
Button ($83.25)
SB ($56.85)
Hero (BB) ($50)
UTG ($46)
MP ($13.45)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7:spade:, 6:diamond:
3 folds, Button bets $1, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.50

Flop: ($2.25) 5:diamond:, J:club:, 9:heart: (2 players)
Hero bets $1.65, Button calls $1.65

Turn: ($5.55) 8:heart: (2 players)
Hero bets $4.15, Button raises to $8.30, Hero ???


I think that I should just call here and hope that I can get to showdown quickly & that he has a 2 pair, like 89 or something, or has the same hand as me. Fold to river aggression, of course.

Also, feel free to comment on preflop call. Players at this limit like to do that min raise just as their standard raise, not necessarily because of their hand strength.
I may have had some notes on the villain but I wasn't able to check before he left the able. I think he just seemed like a TAG, I know I haven't played with him very much.
