Default 5 outs enough for 1:2 all-incall on flop?

I just watched a stoxtradervideo(.50/1 NL), where he has AQ on AJ7rainbow flop vs. 30BB stack.

He bets 5 into 8$ pot and gets minraised.

He then shoves so villain gets 20:43 and folds.
Stox is surprised, as he says the guy needs just5 outs to be good.

My question: poker stove gives KJ for example on that flop 19% equity. thats 5 outs but im 4:1 dog to win the hand so how is a call with 2:1 good here?

Thx for help

43-to-20 works out to a little over 2-to-1 like you said, so 19% equity/5 outs isn't nearly enough to call. You'd need nine, maybe 8 if you had a couple backdoor draws.

5 outs here might be ok if it were a small pot, if you think you can tilt the guy enough to make up for it or to spend a little on table image. Obviously on it's own it's hideously -EV.

If it's as you stated he prob just made a mistake or something.
