Re: Correct play or unnecessary gamble?
Unlike Kurn, I sure don't fold preflop for 150 more, especially with position on the guy.
When he checks the flop, I wouldn't bet the pot. There is 900 in the pot, and I believe 2100 in your stack. Betting the pot is close to half your stack. I would check, bet about 500-600, or go all-in.
Given his mini-reraise and subsequent check, I think he's trapping more often than he's preparing to fold to your bet, so I would usually check. Of the times I might bet, all-in would be my preferred bet in this spot, one of the few situations where I overbet the pot.
