Were you hoping he wld just chk it down to the river? 

You havent quite got the implied odds to flop a set, so calling isn't really a great play.  If you're going to get aggressive with your stack make it 1600 or so preflop and fold to a push.  (Not sure if this is a great play, but at least it is decisive)

Fold preflop, especially if you are going to dump it on this flop.

Raising/shoving are better than calling here.

In fairness, it is QUITE common for people to play dreadfully before the flop in MTTs.

It depends if he is active or not, if he is an active player then i would prob flat the flop with a plan of raising a weak turn bet or betting the turn myself if he checks.
