6 players post ante of 0 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.7 BB) Hero has 5♥ A♣

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 5.19 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, UTG calls 4.19 BB

Flop: (13.07 BB, 2 players) 8♥ 5♣ 7♥

Turn: (13.07 BB, 2 players) T♠

River: (13.07 BB, 2 players) T♣

How bad is this shove?
Should just lay it down from button?
What is my range from shoving button?

The only problem is the limp of the short stack on the UTG. It could be a trap of him, but otherwise I would shove A5o all day from the BTN. The UTG player seems like a fish, but I would shove at least any ace, broadways and any pocket pairs here and suited connectors like T9s as well.

Think I'd fold. You want to be first in with a shove and the blinds have just past you. Wait and shove any pocket pair, Ax, suited connectors KQ,KJ, KTs.

I dont think A5 is ahead of his range often enough, think hes trying to trap.

Therefore, you need reads if this a trap or not.
