I'd rather check, and push/bet ~200-700 (depends on what kind of flop) most flops. If you push now, he is very likely to call you with pocket pairs and a lot of Axs hands. If he has pp, he will hit the flop 1/7,5 times, if Ax, he will hit the board once in 3 times.
I guess you could push all flops except those that have ace, 3 very small card and those where you hit two pairs or better.
Don't really like this play
I would shove "good" hands preflop, 87 is not good enough. You don't have much FE here + you still have a 5BB stack (not THAT bad). I'd check for the free flop.
This is a great spot to "make a move" on the flop btw, with the right kind of reads it's a good idea to take a stab at the pot on the right flops.

I agree entirely with this. I'd just like to add that generally even when a donkey openlimps UTG, with a 5BB stack we have little to no FE.
