Folding the best hand with 1000 in the pot for 1400 more is really bad.

But losing your whole stack to the other bigstack who has shown great strength by making a questionable call is worse.

I think you should fold this too, unless you have a good read on the villain making this move with a wide range of hands.

I never said I would call. I'm just saying if I "knew" I was in a coinflip situation this is an easy call becasue there is already 1000 in the pot.

Any reason for the 3.5xBB raise?

I do this sometimes. What's wrong with 3.5xBB? You advocating a limp, or a 3xBB raise? You think it shows fear of a caller/advertises middle pp?

I don't like raising that much from that early with much of anything.

A 3.5xBB raise doesn't say anything a 2.8xBB raise doesn't say. And when you are forced to fold (like this case) you have 0.7xBB more left to play with.
