Even though it's possible the large stack is trapping hoping for you short stacks to shove I don't see to much option you have other than a shove at this point. You are nearly at 5xbb, and are at shove pretty much any 2 cards. Can't see how you can wait much longer.

fold. you have a full orbit almost before blinds hit again. you want to shove into uncontested pots, not ones where you're going to get called 90% of the time.

You probably will get called (although 90% is an awfully high estimate), but I think you will be ahead most of the time. The big stack could likely be trapping, but it's more likely that he just wants to see a cheap flop.

I wouldn't put him on a medium-low ace or a better king, since he'd very likely just raise. He could easily have a hand like QJ, KT, smaller pairs, or lower suited or connected cards. Yes, you will occasionally run into big hands here, but more often than not you'll be ahead IMO.

with hero's stack i dont want to have my chips in the middle unless im trtying to steal, or almost guaranteed a flip or better if called. and we are very infrequently winning this pot preflop given villains stack. i don't think we're flipping+ enough here for me oto be putting chips in the middle. even though he only has 6 BB, if we can get a double up or steal twice, our stack s very playable. we have time as the blinds just passed, as i already said. if this was an unopened pot, i shove all day.
