If I'm reading right and you raised to 1700 all-in, you only had 1880 to start. Did you push for more or did you really have only 1880 to start?

In any event, I probably check/call the flop vs an unknown. See what he bets. This is often times very telling (smaller bets weak; big bets strong. Sometimes vice-versa given opponent characteristics). That board has to be scary for an overpair, and if he has a set or long straight he's got you screwed. Once you call a flop bet, he might check the turn for pot control giving you a free card or bet really small, which is good for you. You have the option to semi-bluff all-in if he bets small on turn. If he checks the flop, you almost certainly have the best hand and the green light to bet any turn that isn't an A or K.

As played, I would call the raise and check/fold turn unimproved.
