Assuming 8 players at the table and you having 8000 AFTER your SB (if you started the hand with 10k), there was (200 * 8) + 2000 + 4000 + 8000 = 15,600 in the middle and it was 6000 for him to call. That's 2.6:1, so I wouldn't expect him to fold often.

And if you really started the hand with 8000, then he was getting 3.4:1, meaning he's folding never.

Moral of the story: When you get that short, you have no fold equity, so don't let yourself get that short.

(The push was still correct, of course, but so was his call)
