    Ah, the classic. "I don't know whether to fold or shove pre-flop, so I do neither and call" (which is the worst option when you're as short as you are here). Betting 4k into a 12k pot on the flop is another REALLY weak play, IMO. Dan Harrington talks a lot about making bets to commit yourself to the next decision, and I'm a believer in that. If you're going to bet/fold here, either bet enough where you have to call the last little bit (shoving would be OK), or just check behind.

    Unless irahayes is another name for Phil Gordon or Allen Kessler, I'm shoving pre-flop here, all day every day. FWIW.
