In my opinion, your minimum raise to 1600 preflop is your biggest flaw here. By raising only the minimum, you are giving the SB 2.33-1 on his money to just call. And then if he calls, the BB would be getting 5-1 for his call. Not to mention, there are some very juicy implied odds because of the chips to have.

IMO, you are giving both blinds a great opportunity to call here with very marginal hands and draw out on you. KQ is very likely here, as is 44. I'm not sure as to whether the SB is the type of player to slowplay a set on a raindow flop or top two. He could have a hand like AK, KJ and be leading out with a bet about 1/3 the pot to see where he is at in the hand. If you come over the top here, he may easily fold. I don't think calling is an option here. I believe you should either raise to 5000 or fold. If you raise to 5000, you're opponent should fold if he has a hand weaker than a KQ or 44. If he just calls, you can see what plays out on the turn. If he comes back over the top of you, you can dump the hand and leave yourself with 8400 in chips. That wouldn't seem too bad as you said you were pretty much running over the table.

Let us know what happened and how things played out.
