Decently soft 1-2-5 live PLO game where I'm about 500 deep with half the players and 300 with other half.

Short stacked player 200 behind to start hand, has played relatively tight in first hour we've played together and hasn't raised makes it 20 after a limp. He said early on in the session "if I would have made two stupid decisions I would be way ahead right now. I call on button wth Ad9dKc6c. 6 way flop

Flop (125) AsKh5h

He pots after two checks, two folds. Players to my left are 95% going to fold cards in hand ready to pitch, Hero?

At best I'm only calling if he's been an uber nit. We're only getting crushed so much more often than we get folds or actually being ahead.

You have to be careful about reading too much into this. While it could mean they are legitimately disinterested and are in fact ready to fold, this is also a strength tell.

Call is the same as all in because there is so little money left to bet.

60BB is a modest short stack vs your 100BB.

So a tight player raises pre flop then pots into you on the flop in what is essentially an all-in continuation bet. Doesn't look like a check raising flop so you feel pretty good about your top two. I just don't see a bluff here. Weakest hand I see is a pair of aces with a decent draw, like a FD, AQJT with FD.

Looks like ample dead money to continue, yet a flat call may price others in behind you. I would re-pot.
