Let's see we have 4100 in the pot, he has 3600 left and you have 6000 left.

This is an ugly, ugly flop for you, as even if he didn't hit an A or Q he can easily like this enough to push anything you do. If you check to him I think he has to be pushing the flop and you're sent folding, so the only way you're taking this is by betting right now.

I hate doing this, but I want to just lead out 1600 or so and fold to a push despite the ridiculous odds you'd be getting. At that point you know he either has an A or a Q and you're drawing to 2 outs, or in the very best case for you he has a flush draw and maybe straight draw and over along with it.

Personally I would've raised to 1800 or so PF, maybe even 1600. That keeps the pot small enough to where you can lead out a probe bet on the flop and still get away from it if he pushes. As it stands that is VERY hard to do. The pot is just way too big here for your stack sizes, and raising to 1600 or so PF he's still going to lay down anything he would've laid down to 2k, so why build the pot bigger than necessary?

I want to try and lead this flop but with stack sizes I just can't justify I don't think. I think you bet 3k and hope he folds. [censored] spot but I can't get myself to check/fold with a pot that big. He's folding any PP here, could be folding a Q giving you credit for an A, etc. He could also be calling flush draws which you're ahead of slightly.
