I like the lead.

I doubt you have much fold equity against trips unless he has severe kicker problems, and you will be a slight dog when he calls. Not much is not the same as none, of course.

Calling is clearly wrong - your hand may decline in value a lot on the turn.

Folding is insane.

A smaller reraise, to something less than all-in, but enough that he will be hard pressed to price you out of the pot on the turn? Why bother?

No, you did fine.
