What's hasaan habibs nick? I hope you aint referring to that guy who plays as Hassan with darth vader avatar. He is far from tight.

If this is actually vs. some very tight guy I guess I like this play.

not that i know anything about these stakes, but doesn't calling the flop really make it look like you are drawing?

given that you raised the flop (which is fine), with his stack size i'd check the turn. his flop coldcall is scary as hell and looks a whole lot like a set. if you bet 1150 on the turn, he's moving in on you A LOT. i'd check the turn and then either call/fold/chraiseallin(very rarely) depending on a lot of diff stuff.

agree completely with the donkey.

Given the SIZE of your RR on the flop (which I like), you have no real fold equity by betting the Turn, you need to check and hit the Flush!! !
