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

As played... easy fold, no?

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.

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?

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.

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

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