He's just making it real cheap for me to see a flop and hit a good card or perhaps fold if a K or A hit the flop.

If he had posted the hand, all of FTR would tell him to 3bet bigger.
Well, precisely because his stack is so short, you don't have the correct odds to set mine here. I am not saying at all that his min 3b is a good play, but calling with any pair if you put him on, say, QQ+ for 3betting, does not make you money in the long run because of the lack of implied odds resulting from his short stack. If he had about $5 behind, it would be OK to set mine in position.
