well dont keep us in suspense, what happened? timeout?

exactly - the only issue is whether or not the push is plus EV. The number of buyins/amount of money invested is purely immaterial. You should stop thinking this way if you want to be a good player.

stacks are much too deep to push the turn. It would be a bet of 13K into a pot of 4.2K. And I would not want to raise less and get reraise/pushed while I still have a live draw.

"The turn would have been the better spot to push him off the hands. Problem is you were too busy jerkin' over possibly making a straight. "

Very wrong in my opinion. Stacks are too deep for me to push. If I raise and he reraises, I love my draw. Raising the turn would be a big mistake.

a very good point dbitel. however, I don't think he follows up on the turn and river so hard very often on air.

by the river, there is very little chance that Bld has nothing. There is a possibility though but small enough to be more or less neglected.

I will not act instantly with a huge hand, but I also won't let it run down to 2 seconds.

not out of the question (and I did consider that)

Bld will bet hard with a hand like a set, knowing that I have made thin calls against him before.
