I don't understand your reasoning for betting 150.

if you bet 150, are you going to fold for the remaining 86?"

the reason i bet 150 is that an all in for an overbet always looks to me like a weak play
i bet as much as i could without overbetting to represent roughly what i had- a strong(ish) hand i didn't want someone outdrawing-i wanted him to fold what i put him on
obviously i'm not going to fold for the remaining 83,but betting 240 into a 150 pot is a weak looking play

If you are willing to pot commit yourself anyways, then why are you afraid of them coming over the top if you bet 50 again?"

the answer to this is obvious,i would have thought-its better to bet than call,because you have fold equity as well as the chance that you could legitimately win with the best hand
