2/5 Live spot - do we want action or to just win immediately?

To set the stage quickly, it's 5:30 am on a Monday morning, there's a 2/5 PLO running with 5 players, 2-3 of them are drunk have a bunch of buddies railing, being rowdy etc. I take a seat and buy in for $300, I seem to be the only one not calling every hand preflop. The table is not too aggressive, and the 2 action players are to my right, there is one short stack to my left, and to his left is a reggy looking player. The action player to my right has racked up his chips, and the other one is quitting after this hand as well, so this is the last hand before the table is going to break. BTN makes a remark about how he always loses his last hand before leaving.

UTG and CO limp for $5, BTN raises to $25, Hero is in SB w/KsQh6s5h and calls $25, BB folds, UTG and CO call

Flop ($105) Qs 6d 2d
Hero, UTG and CO check, BTN bets $70, Hero raises all in to $265, UTG and CO fold.

Here is where it gets interesting, as BTN tries to engage me in conversation, and I think I can push him a decent amount of the time to either call or fold. The question is which one do I want? If he folds I win a $175 pot uncontested, and if he calls I need to fade overcards to my 2 pair to win $565. I'm playing within reason for my bankroll so that's not really a consideration here, but I think there's a point where it's actually better for me when he gives up his equity.

Based on his table talk I know 100% that I have the best hand right now. What say you RIO?
