Default $27 Bubble against out of the ordinary limp

Normally I wouldn't have any problems deciding what to do here. Maybe I shouldn't have this time either, but the limp just puzzled me.

Villain is unknown but has been very tag so far.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t2630)
UTG (t1395)
Button (t8020)
Hero (t1455)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ?

I fold this pretty easily, this is a trap way too often.
What makes this even more likely is that he's the shortie.

This is usually an easy push, A5s is def strong enough.

If he really seems to know what he's doing though and the other players are weak (or just very aggro), it's possible he's trapping here w/ QQ+. I'd make the push/check decision based on what he probably thinks about the other players.

Yeah, two people misread position here.
Interesting that we've gotten varying answers so far.

He has to fold &gt;60% of the time I think, gotta fold. Usually I shove.

I pushed, he folded.
Felt bad just as soon as I pressed the raise button.
