What would you have bet initially? And if this initial bet had been re-raised all in, would you have called it?

I would've definitely raised pf.

How much? I'd normally raise 1800-2400 here but was trying to mix it up a bit after two similar raises in the last fifteen or so hands.. This is an area of my game I'm weak with, though; I'd be interested to know what, given the chip counts, a suitable raise would be.

1800-2400

easy fold u only in for 600

[pswnio]

I folded and have no idea what he held. I think that live this would have been the clearly correct move. However, I've seen so many online overplay AJ A10 and downwards which is why I thought I'd post this. Ta.
