Hey everyone,
I'd love to hear some feedback about this hand. We're deep into the money (probably about 3 or 4 tables left in a Merge $5.5). The villain has been showing down some really weird holdings where he limped from MP and ended up showing down. He's also 3bet shoved a few times out of the BB already and not been called. Honestly, he's kinda lucked into his stack a little bit so he seems to be a relatively weak player compared to the rest of the table.

I can obviously fold here and get on the next hand, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to why folding or calling would be the optimal play against this player.
Thanks for your insight!
