Default Hand I remembered vs Doug Lee in turning stone 2k event

For those of you who dont know, Doug Lee is this terrible LAG player who won a WSOP curcuit event. He was raising/reraising with total crap all day, and making a lot of donkey plays. Over all he was playing poorly and getting it in with the worst of it, but he caught a couple of monsters and is sitting on a pretty big stack. I have noticed he likes taking really long pauses to make it look like he is thinking with monsters.
I havent showed down a hand yet, picked up a couple of small pots with cont bets and the like, been overall really quiet. My stack is around the starting amount (and ~avg too)
I have played with Doug in earlier events at Turning Stone, and usually was one of the only players standing up to him, so he has a decent amount of respect for me as I have taken a bunch of pots away from him.
Hero (2800)
Doug (7000)
(Blinds 50/100)
I get JJ in early position and raise it up to 300, folded to Doug in the BB and he makes it 900, he has been coming over the top a lot, I think, think and call.
Flop: 7 4 2 rainbow
Doug pauses, counts his stack, pauses, then fires out 1500 essentially puting me all in, I fold face up (only so he shows me his hand, which he will).

I got a lot of heat for this from my friends that I was there with, I will go through my thought process later.

I don't fold here. You say he's been playing lagtard all day, if he has a bigger pair, so be it. You were there and probably had a better feel for the situation, so if you trust your instincts you should run with them.

I also wouldn't want to show the table my cards.

I probably just shove it in preflop, actually.

A lot of this depends on how accurate his tell is and what you think his reraising range is. I'd think this is a call against basically anything though, as you're getting 2:1. Assuming 0% chance of bluffing:

Board: 7h 2c 3s
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 52.9256 % 51.71% 01.22% { TT+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 47.0744 % 45.85% 01.22% { JJ }

You shouldn't call preflop and fold on undercards unless you knew you'd pick up a tell on his flop bet.

1/3 of your stack just to see where you're at?

What were your plans for the hand?

If you hoped to trap him, wasn't this the perfect flop for it? Did your read override the "plan?" Would/could he represent a big hand to get you off yours?

I think the times he hits the board/whiffs outweigh the times he pairs up/makes a set. I'd be hard pressed not to get all my chips in here.

That, to make sure an ace/(king?) doesnt flop, and to see if i could pick up a tell.

Check fold when an ace flops, get it all in with a set, re-evaluate an overpair.

I didn't?
He paused like in deep thought, counted his chips, etc.

I would do that same trying to scare you off. I would act all strong. Also did he show you his hand? What was it?
I don't see how his reraise scared you as you mentioned he had come over the top with junk a lot. I know you guys had history but maybe he was in a such a roll that day that he decided to try to outplay you for all the times u outplayed him.
