As played, its a definite three bet i think.

players might be raising their draws at higher levels. but at 25NL they rarely raise with a draw. they usually just flat call. if he had Ax I think most players also flat call. If he has AQ or AK he might decide to raise me here.
I think his most likely hand here is AK, AQ or 2 pair or better

There is no way my opponent is folding now since he has committed so much to the pot and doesn't have that much more left.
He might even 4 bet me when i raise since his money is committed anyway.
I think my option here is to put my all my money in or just fold.
The main pot is capped because the small stack is allin btw.

that said, i dont usually face 5 way traffic when i raise 5xbb utg so i think bet/folding is probably the best line here. no way i stack off without previous displays off donkishness by the minraiser.
