I wondered if it made any sense to reraise villain all-in pre-flop. I wasn't in danger of having a third person get involved when it got back to me and it would ensure that I got to see all five cards.

I think it's safe to say that if villain allows himself to get that low, his range here has me on the positive side of a coin toss more often than not and I might even get lucky and see a pair of fives here.

And if villain is more thinking than I give him credit for, a limp-reraise-big move represents a strong hand and I migth even have a little folding equity after all.

Thoughts?

This is actually the only sensible thing to do. To make the pre-flop call, you either have to assume you have the best hand and push a small pre-flop edge, or that you have the worst hand and fold.
