  2. No flushes on the board, no straights, the only hand he could have to hurt you is a K with a better kicker or that magic pocket fives. If he had one of those hands, he would probably slow play it to try to suck more chips out of you rather than go all in. With that board, his all-in wins the pot if you don't have a king, so he's betting that the flop missed you (which when you think about it is pretty likely since you are in the BB and saw the flop for free, and checked the flop).

    This feels like he was making a move to me, with 3 people left I definitely think the call was correct. I assume that you were trying to get him to bet by checking the flop, so when he went all-in I think that's pretty much what you wanted him to do.... I would call in a second.
