villain has a short stack with an AF of 5. Raising the flop is terrible because you're only going to take down his bet if you're ahead and lose a big pot if he's ahead.

7 might have hit two pair on the turn also j8 for the straight, but he's so short, I think we have to push him in.

Relativity, no offence but I don't think any of your posts in this thread have made a lot of sense. If we have to shove the turn due to villain's 'shortness', surely the same logic applies to the flop? (Unless you're advocating a fold?) If you want to call the flop to induce bluffs from worse hands, why not continue to do so on the turn?

Villain has played this hand very strangely (cold-call re-raise, lead flop) so any reads would help but in a vacuum I think this is unlikely to be a stronger hand. At the same time, I'd be loath to let him see any more cards for free, so I can't see a way past shoving the flop. You don't have to worry about the multi-way-ness as MP has folded already.
