BB will always steal on the flop regardless of previous action if he senses weakness, so I wanted to se a flop with him. I was certain he would call the raise with any ace, any broadway, and push anything better. I hoped to doubble up on a good flop (not containing an ace). I know im short and should probably be pushing but according to my read he would set me allin with any two cards if I show weakness on the flop.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t60000 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t883608)
BB (t1725708)
Hero (t929136)
MP (t561192)
Button (t1794856)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif.

Any comments appreciated.

I push or fold preflop b/c I can't stand calling a reraise before the flop hits and I like making decisions easier for myself. You could just limp I guess but thats too weak IMO given your stack.
