Shove flop.
You don't have chips to attempt to play poker.
Once he called the flop you had < 1/3 pot left. Any draw calls.
I think folding the BB is too advanced for the OP.
Do neither. Also, bet like 700 on that flop, 1200 is overbetting. Shoving is silly. As for the thread, who cares what he was thinking, he probably wasn't... Literally
Edit: guess you could shove pre, I wouldn't most of the times tho. Not that I would get this short most of the time either
He wasn't. Or, more likely, he was thinking about pot odds, entering data into poker stove, and then got distracted by something shiny and pretty . . .
