This hand is basic, if he check-raises you on the flop, you put your money in. You're happy to get it all in with this hand on this flop, you are very far ahead most of the time.

Yeah, no way you're getting away from this. Bet 2k on the flop, if he calls push teh turn, if he raises you on the flop, push. Pretty simple.

Yeah, I see those lines - but if you are going all in on a call or a raise, why not get to the same point with a push on the flop right away?

A push may fold out inferior hands, whereas a 2k bet will encourage a push from a weaker ace or less of a hand even.
