Default Flopped trips good kicker and Unknown pushes

Villain is a complete unknown. Haven't even played a full orbit against him.

0.50/1.00 NLHE 6-max, 6 players

Stacks:
Hero - $101.75
MP - $81.40

Hero is CO w/ K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Preflop: UTG calls, MP calls, Hero <font color="red">raises to $6</font>, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP calls

($14.50) Flop <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG bets $75.40 (all-in), Hero..........?

Obviously, he has a Q or 55. If he has a Q, I'm probably ahead since AQ would probably have raised pre-flop. If he has a 5, I'm drawing to 4 immediate outs plus 3 additional outs on thr river for the chance that the turn card will pair.

Ugh! What to do, what to do?

Odds of him having 55 is too small to fold. His Q having a higher kicker than your is out of the question. Call the push.

Would he call a $6 raise pre-flop UTG with 55?

Easy call. A set of 5's is almost impossible to see on most boards, and the odds of taking your opponents stack is very high.

Hi Kyrie,

I call here. I think he would have PFR with AQ. I'm thinking he may have 55, but he may also have AA or KK and slowplayed PF. You might even see nut flush draw or A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Lesser odds you see 10-10 or JJ. All in all I think you have enough equity to call this.

Garon

A good TAG might be doing this with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], X[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but good TAG's are few and far between. So what other hands is a nomral villain going to open push on a flop like this with. Barring some previous play that tells me villain is a non-thinking LAG, a board like this is just way too scary for a typical player to be willing to risk all his chips with unless he has a piece of it. And since there are really only two pieces for villain to have.......
