Call. FWIW, you missed out on a wonderful Blind stealing opportunity here by not raising to ~400 straight pre-flop.

I would definitly push preflop (if you only raise 400 and one of the larger stacks tops you you are going to call anyway, so might as well push to begin with).

on the flop, its very possible that you are drawing to two outs, but I think there are just too many hands you have beat that the aggressor would push with. If a passive player that i had a solid read on pushed here I would probably fold though.

Agreed, it's a clear raise preflop.

No. Newt, there are no larger stacks. The most you can be re-raised is ~700 so by upping it to ~400 you are telling everyone "I'm commited" and by not going all-in you look to be on a blind steal and could induce an all-in from an A, two broadway's or lower pair pre-flop.

of course, the point is that you should i think be pushing on all your "blind steals" too.
