You're wrong here I'm afraid, Durron. Pushing is a *very* viable option. There are 800 dead chips and your FE is HUGE. Also, the SB is only ~12xBB anyway so I'm not sure where you decided that the stacks were too large to consider such an option. You simply can't dismiss a push here.

So I guess you don't like this hand then (the previous hand):

Seat 1: BB ($5,390 in chips)
Seat 6: Hero ($6,110 in chips)
Seat 7: SB ($3,500 in chips)

Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($200), BB posts blind ($400).

PRE-FLOP
durron597 bets $1,000, 2 folds.

or this hand (the next hand):

And then there's this hand, 2 hands later. The difference between this hand and the OP is the SB's stack size; above he had over 12xBB, here he's under 10. Plus it's just nice to mix up your play. Edit: also my 2nd card is much worse which makes me less inclined to play post flop (what happens if I flop a 4?)
