Should I have perhaps check/raised OTT, even with three overs? Called the river w/four overs and four to a straight? Folded pre?

I would either just shove pre or 3bet larger and shove all flops. You need to have a plan on flops with overs with so much of your stack invested.

Shove pre as you are nearly always hating life if he flats.

I'd also 3bet premium hands smaller, to 1.4k (AK, QQ+)

Why not shove your entire raising range here including premiums? Less transparent imo.

Because shoving makes him fold too much of his raising range.

[fjuanl]

For someone to actually pick up on your ranges they have to:

1. Be paying attention to you
2. See you 3bet small with a premium and have it go to showdown
3. See you 3bet shove with a mediocre hand and get called

I'm guessing there is a big pool of players in $3 tournys so the chances of anyone noticing this are slim. Plus, even if someone knew this about you, it would be hard to benefit from it very often

Honestly as soon as he called the pre-flop, my stomach would have dropped. And I think your bet size was too large... I say you just make the simple calls pre-flop with a middle pair, save chips... your odds of hitting a 7 are really low.... save chips and hope to trap him imo
