is it possible to fold on the shove? should i have shoved?

If you're readless, I think

If you're readless, I think your line is fine.
People shove straight draws, flush draws, overpairs, top pairs, top two pairs, etc. here all the time, especially the weaker players and/or lower level players.
Calling is also an option, but once you raise I don't fold without reads on my opponent.
I wouldn't shove the turn though, I think you'd be overplaying your hand somewhat and it would give you the highest % chance of folding out those hands I mentioned earlier that you want calling/shoving on you.
But calling the turn is an option, especially against an overaggressive opponent.  I don't mind if they flat the turn minraise because you're in position and you're not committed to a brutal river card.  It's an exploitable line but most players don't know how to correctly exploit it by turning certain hands into bluffs along with their actual nuttish hands.  Throw in the fact that they are OOP, and you're not in bad shape seeing a river with a call or minraise in this hand.
