How much did I need to reraise the villain?

I shove here with my image, avg player should be making it 1400 and shoving their last 2600 on any flop.

IMO, you don't need to worry about whether or not he'll call your raise you just want to make sure he is making a mistake if he does call.

If he has an underpair, he is about 8 to 1 to outflop you and hit the set and if he has an A he is about 5 to 1 to outflop you. Since you are less likely to stack off with an A onboard I wouldn't be as concerned about pricing out the A ( which is what the raise to 1600 would do ). Giving him about 6 to 1 on his call should split the difference nicely and make it a mistake to call for set value. Your stack plus the dead money is about 4700 so the raise to 1200 gives him just under 6 to 1 on the call which is why I think it is the correct play.

I didn't see this before I posted. After reading this and thinking through the math, I much prefer shaundeeb's approach to my own.
