Chardrian, may I ask why this is a shove and not a raise to say, 2000?

Some things that would influence my play might be:
1. What hands has villain shown down when he has limped?
2. What is my image?
3. There is a huge stack behind me, how has he been playing (e.g. does he love to shove when there are a number of limpers infront of him? Has he called all ins with marginal hands?)
Your image doesn't matter with 12 BBs; huge stack behind you doesn't matter with 12 BBs.

Sounds to me like you are wanting to raise to 2k so that you can fold to a shove which is just bad w/TT in that spot.

If you are doing it to induce a worse hand to shove it is fine, but the standard play here is just to shove.
