    With a min raise and a call, i hate my bet sizing here pre, any raise looks suspect, i'm wondering is it better to just ship it pre?

    My computer was really lagging (for the first time), really annoying, i was going to type in a raise bet, i wanted to go to 800-900, the timer was going down and it wouldnt let me type in, so i cliked 4 x thinkin it would go to about this but no 480! What are you 3 betting 2 here? Any shout for just shoving?

    Betsizing, 800-900 here?

    600/675 or ship it.

    850/900 says you are never folding and make it look way too strong so a ship might appear weaker.

    My reasoning behind 600/675 makes it look like AK/99/TT/JJ sorta hands are in your range that have room to fold to a real bad flop. Thus appears to villain that they have options. If they are calling 900 they have to know they need to be ready to call the rest of your stack too.

    imo but im no tourney player.

    Ship it

    If they are bad and love calling 3bets what you did is ok. You made it 600, far better than making it bigger imo, I might even go a little smaller.
