I don't think I would bet the flop with 3 players left to act behind me.

As played... easy fold, no?

Re: What does villain have? $55+R+A
 

you should have some kind of a read - how'd he lose 600 chips in 12 hands? chasing? played one hand and folded to a raise? of course reads are kind of useless in a rebuy period could be anything from 45 63 66 33 Qx. slow played AQ or overpairs are unliikely. since you're posting this, I'm guessing 45.

With a flop like this (no draws really) I don't mind c-betting to just try and take it. I bet small enough to where I know where I stand if the hand has to continue.

As it is he way overpushed here and I was really thrown by what he might have.

He had gained chips previously. He gained them on a hand where he raised AQ UTG+1 when he put a small stack all-in on KTx board and hit an A against JJ. He lost a little back on the previous hand when he limped K5 UTG+1 and called some small bets to the river when he flopped top pair.

Re: What does villain have? $55+R+A
 

OK, so there is evidence that he is a donkey. 1) he did not rebuy at the start 2) he limped K5 UTG and stayed to the river with TPNK (top pair, no kicker) 3) it's a rebuy and most everybody is a little bit of donkey in a rebuy period 4) he's playing a lot of hands

this info reinforces my guesses. he stayed on some ridiculous starting cards and hit something better than your jacks.

Actually no he DID rebuy, sorry I didn't make that clear. He knocked out a shorty (like 900 or something) with the AQ hand.

Given those 2 hands (only ones he'd shown, we're barely into the tourney), do you call this? Yes? No? Why or why not?

Re: What does villain have? $55+R+A
 

This looks like a really easy fold to me with this dry of a board and he check raised all in with 3 people left to act. The only possible draw is 45. I don't think he makes this play with TT or anything else you beat.

Re: What does villain have? $55+R+A
 

Fold. What are you beating that confidently shoves against that many players?

Re: What does villain have? $55+R+A
 

Villain may be donking it up, but you're drawing to 2 odds a large amount of the time here. Fold.
