    Default AcKc in big blind facing a 5x utg open

    Had this hand come up the other day to give me a WTF reaction when my opponent opened to 5x utg.

    I was pretty sure he either mis-clicked opened (size wise) or range was weighted to small-medium pairs. Therefore is my ship - although a big one of 25-BBs - semi-standard, gross or just purely retarded?

    Also, if we upped the buy-in to say $11 or $22, does the hand change at all?

    (Note: no decent stats on villain as he had only been at table for an orbit or so)

    Fistpump shove

    I'd weight his range towards AQ AK 88-JJ personally with the 5x in my experience at lower stakes (but his whole range is much wider obv), but it doesn't matter, AKs is a fistpump shove over a single raise at any buyin level for 25bb.
