I make it 3800-4k here nearly always. (that doesnt mean that bops still doesnt call, only he knows that). I also think your flop bet is a bit big. We are looking to get our chips in here on this flop, its just whats the best way of doing it. You've actually told your opponnent with this bet that your not folding your hand here, so your folding out most hands your beating. Allow them some rope to hang themselves.
Obviously, bops was in gambling form and fancied gambling a couple of k to try and get smurfs stack. This he did, but I think we all agree if he was to use this play on a regular basis, it wouldnt see a positive return in the long run. I presume bops went into this game knowing that it was mostly made up of CPT players, (afaik Bops frequents these games), and probably plays totally different to say a well structured monkey game. he knows there a good boardie on his table, and probably no other oppossition of note, so "why not see a flop for 2k more and try and flop gin, specifically as probably has smurf on 1 of 2 hands. Easy fold if he misses.
Thats not to say that I call there. I dont actually. I'm just trying to get into bops mindset (and thats not easy). In a multiway pot early in the tourney, I'm very happy to get in otb here with 33 for 300, and cant see the advantage of the original reraise to 1,100.
