Default Re: What is your move here?

I'd raise it to about T2000. If he's on a pure steal, you'll often win without a fight. If he pops you back for all your chips, you can fold because you're usually a coinflip (or worse) away from elimination, and your stack is big enough to find a better place to double up. This is why I don't really like a push here; you're not desperate to double up, and you can afford to see a flop with position.

Also, by not pushing, you entice AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, etc to call when they are out of position with the worst of it. An ace or a king on the flop often means you'll double up, and you can get away from it if the flop is something disgusting.

Then again, I don't post much, and I've been playing too weak-tight lately; I guess we'll see what others say.

Edit: In hindsight, T2000 is probably too small, as it gives the dude better than 3:1 on his call. I should really drink some coffee before I try to do math in my head.
