Spot on I think. This should be be a check for the reason I highlighted in your response. If this was a rebuy or a cash game then I would probably make a small value bet and call a raise. As it was the stacks were to shallow and the game too early to bet the river here.
What actually happened....
I bet 600 chips, Mango raised another 675 chips and I called. He had the hand I thought most likely , 77 for a set and I was down to about 700 chips. I cursed myself all afternoon for betting the river, Mango went on to win the tournement.
