Easy shove at this point because he's so short. He could have dia draw and easily have a worse 5, his likeliest 5's are A5, 35,45,56,57.

He most likely has 45, 56, or A5. You're behind to only one of those three hands. That with the fact so much money is already in on top of throwing in the occasional garbage hand/10/flush draw makes this a call.

Insta push.

Just needed you guys as a sounding board. Since this topic had an obvious choice, I'll post the results:

I pushed, he called with K5 offsuit (?!?!) and board bricked out.

If he was deepstacked then decision gets tougher but yea, as you can see by the hands he limps UTG, shortstackers do idiotic things and generally play bad poker.

And by his repeated minraises in this hand.

He "trapped" you. I hate more than anything when I stack off to someone in a situation where it was going to get in no matter what and they did something funky and think they trapped me. Huge pet peeve.

LOL yeah, he left for the required amount of time, then rejoined with $30 and proceeded to stack off with something like J8-offsuit UTG against a button overpair. Ho hum...

Yeah, you can't fold trips here getting about 3:1. I could see him having 56 or 67 just as often as K5/A5.
Snamuh
He could easily have like QQ-AA here, hoping to limp reraise if he were a decent player. Apprently he was not even close to a decent player though.

Against a normal villain, I'd say he most likely doesn't have 45 or 56. He limped UTG. Granted this is 6-Max, but i really don't feel 4/5 or 5/6 is in this villains range. Obviously this isn't a competent player, after seein he had k/5.

As far as the action on the flop, I go all-in too. I couldn't put him on a 5, perhaps a mid-pocket pair or over pair. I'm not folding.
