Since you did play it. He called your raise then bet into you for half the pot and now has half of his stack on the table. This is why you dont want to play drawing hands. He wasn't going to lay down his hand. So again you should have just mucked. If you would have just called then the turn missed and he pushes all in, bets 800 again or checks. Any of those and you still lose 1600.
Again with your stack and the blinds only 300 I like to wait for a better hand.

in a raised pot do not attempt a bluff if there is a J and 10 on the flop because it will hit a lot of raising/raise calling hands.
within this hand it played out the way you set it up, you know that if you're called you're beaten by at least a pair(yeah, okay matbe the flush draw, though you'd have think they have an overcard to you) and its a race situation if he calls.
personally this is a blind steal, it got called unfortunately. the fact you have positional advantage means you can push IF it's checked to you, if the BB bets at you s/he telling you twice they have some kind of hand so i wouldn't think there much to the semi bluff aspect of all in, i'm expecting a call and personally, i not keen of the odds of winning.

1/2 hour earlier same player had led into me on a flop in a pot I raised preflop, and I had raised him back and he folded.
What do you think about this play, should I have waited for a better spot given chip stacks? I'm in 5th place, and I'm basically playing for 1st place (where all the $ is) with this play, and I think there's a good amount of folding equity here.
