Flop raise is far too small.

Far too small? It's $20 short of a pot sized bet.

How much you like to overbet here?

Maybe that was a bit strong. I should have omitted the word "far" if you wanna nitpick.

I don't. I was thinking a pot raise would be good. Problem is OP's flop raise is $140 short of that. Not a huge deal but I did notice it.

No way in hell are you checking. Build this pot up you will have ten high or a very strong hand at showdown. I'm probably betting and welcoming a check raise. This is how you win people stack deep.

Yea. Plus if you check here you rarely if ever have bluff equity. If you bet pot, you do.

If you bet 1K and he makes it, say, 3.5K are you calling or pushing?

There's no reason to be so snippy with the guy. There's nothing wrong with his math.

Big Jim: this is a raise, not a bet, so you have to include Hero's call of the $120 bet in the size of the pot. So, after the villain bets, the pot is $280 and Hero would be calling $120 + raising $400 (the size of the pot after his call) for a total of $520.

Um...since I have never come anywhere near playing in, let alone beating, a 10/20 game with ~500bb stacks, I really don't think I have any idea what is a good move here. Since Jason does, and said that he would 'welcome' a check/raise, I was wondering what he would do with it.
