    Preflop: I don't think that folding, completing or shoving are bad options. Completing the SB is fine provided that the BB is passive (ie. doesn' regularly raise over limpers to try to steal the dead chips). Folding is fine here too, as is shoving (to try to steal the limps yourself).

    On the flop, your bet is fine when you flop two pair. On the turn, I wouldn't check, I'd just shove it. The problem with check-raising is that considering the chips already in the pot, you have very little fold equity. Opp has to call 835 chips to see a pot of over 2800 so he/she is getting about 3.4 to 1 pot odds.
