Shove, what else can you do?

OK, fold if you happen to have that highly specific read. Otherwise cowboy up and shove. Or don't steal in the first place.

Go all-in, your stack isn't big enough for anything else. Pray that he chickens out even if he suspects that his pocket pair is good.

Easy shove. Or do it like a pro and bet 500 and fold to a push
Most of the time nobody has it, so he`ll be folding much.

Btw, did you ever think of moving down and 60 table the 6$?

My first reaction to this hand was to bet 300 and call it a day. I think its a check fold though. What hand beside KQ that you beat is folding to any bet?

Whether you are beating the hand is irrelevant. I'd expect to fold out any A that whiffed, any underpair, and any other random crap some dude called with at the 16s. If not, well, I generally have outs.

Sure, ya, you can assume that your opponents completely suck all the time and that they're cold calling ATCs. They are not though. I don't see A9- flat calling here or most other hands. A flat call in a position like this is often a sign of a monster.

This is a tough spot. Don't sound like you have this figured out. Spacegravy wouldn't be asking otherwise.
