Turn bet is close I think. I would most likely check here and evaluate the river.
Also you’re bet size is high, because the BB has only 392 behind. Now you’re pretty much committed.
So I would bet maximum 120 if I bet here and fold on a shove.

Cheers,

1) consider limping pre to keep SPR small, unless they are too tight in defending BB, or FvCBs too much (= most recs, so mr is fine also)

2) consider chking back flop (no draws are folding to one bet) - we can thus navigate trn/rvr better, in a smaller pot

3) as played, on turn, what SDK said - turn raises usually = strength, esp from a rec ('baluga theorem' is somewhat outdated admittedly, but it applies well here, I think) -

all the best!
