$2/$3/$5, Playing top two against short stack
Effective stacks $60BB
Live $2/$3/$5
UTG (short stack, recreational player) limps for $5
I raise to $25 with As 4s, SB calls $25, he calls $25 (pot $77)
Flop Ah 4c 7h
He bets $20, I raise to $80, he calls (pot ~$230)
Turn 2h
He bets $60
He has about $140 left, what's my plan?
A bit of history - he was short with $120 or so in a previous hand, he limp-called my $25 bet and check/shoved on on a J high flop with two hearts. Had a flush/gut-shot draw, I called with AJs and lost.

Also, how do I make the Ah looks like A and heart? How do I format the post?
Type “heart” between : and :
So colon heart colon.
As for the hand this isn’t a great spot. Some bad short stackers might show up here with some hands we beat like Ax9h or what not. I think I just rip it though I wouldn’t blame you for folding.
I guess with your reads preflop is okay, but I usually fold pre in this configuration.
As played, calling ott seems better because the 2h doesn't put any worse hands in villain’s range. Seems like a way ahead/way behind situation.

yes, i folded, he quickly bet and his mannerism was like I got it. he said he had a flush, but hard to know

Yeah, i think the main mistake is pre-flop, but wanted to get heads-up against a bad player. Clearly WA/WB on the turn.
I don’t think this is a WAWB, he can have a lot of equity and still be behind.
