This is a real pickle. You could fold and still have 10 BB left. When are the blinds increasing? I'm not on Stars, so I'm not familiar with the structure. If they go to 100-200, you will soon have only 5 BB.
He called your preflop raise, so he could have 2 overcards, possibly suited in diamonds (ahead, but vulnerable to diamond, overcard, and possible straight draws), or way behind to a jack, 9, or pocket pair.
If the blinds are soon to increase, I think it's an easy call (especially if Velar has made a habit of just pushing you two around) since you won't have enough chips to scare Velar away in future hands. As it is, I think you'd have a hard time pushing him around with only T1000 if you folded.
This is a very difficult choice since you are either ahead but vulnerable or way behind. I think to have any chance to win, and with all the stealing that's been going on, I say call if you want any chance to win.

This is another fold, but it's close. You've now invested 1300 of your 2000 chips into this hand. If you let it go, you're pretty much reduced to pushing as soon as possible with the first available hand.

Who the heck is Alycyn?
Speaking of Frechbread, I had a roll at home and after one week of sitting there it became hard as baseball bat and I thought if I hit someone over the head, that I could crack their skull open with it. True story.

I can think of several rude responses, but I'm too nice too offer any of them.
Try this, mix in whatever spices you like, dip some nice chicken in an egg wash and then in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Saute them in a light oil until golden brown. Enjoy.
