2) What if they call with position. Now you have about 1k left and 800 in the pot and are out of position so what is your plan on the flop?

Seems easier to me to call and re-evaluate on the flop. If it wasn't a full table I wouldn't think too much about re-raising but it is early.

Just curious.
That's why I said to just shove back preflop, it's unexploitable. I think re-raising less than AI is bad for the reasons you stated above.
