So villain hasn't been active. Only previous note is that he limped OTB then 3-bet/5bet aftter I raised in the blinds. Should I just jam pre-flop or call and see a flop, or is folding an option?

But, having said that, I would probably be willing to just bin this one on almost any flop, unless he proceeds quite tentatively thereafter. Perhaps the best thing to do is just to throw the cards in the muck to begin with, and wait for a better spot.
Lol. In short, I don't know!
I'll buy you 2 pints at the SPT grand final if this person doesn't have AA
You can have 1 pint if they have KK.
Otherwise nothing
I don't love calling cos the implied odds aint great cos the odd time it's KK you've probably aint stacking them on Axx.
That probably makes it a fold pre-flop. I guess we have decent pot odds against half of her range to look for the Ace on the flop, though I don't imagine our implied odds are that great if it hits. There will also be the RIO implications of the Ace hitting when we're up against a set.
Flopping the flush? How often does that happen? Not worth considering, I think, especially if we're fairly sure we're up against a hand that won't fold to a semi-bluff with a draw.
I think the only reason to call pre-flop is that we think there are boards on which we can get her off her hand. Out of position, that's going to be tough.
Gamble! Gamble! Gamble!
100bb deep with KK I absolutely hate my life cos we have 2 blockers to pretty much the only value hand they can show up with that doesn't have us crushed lol. I just can't fold KK 100bb deep pre apart from maybe 1 villian that comes to mind, BUT against that person I wouldn't put myself in that situation. Against some people it's better to just flat 3bets with KK imo because they're range for continuing when facing a 4bet just leaves us in dreadful shape.
FWIW, I dont think this villian is one of them, because they can flat the 4bet with worse but in this situation (where they've gone for the min3b/min5b I think we'd get it in and expect to see AA a lot.
4bet ranges are over-rated at 20NL
"Woop!, Woop! Woop!... I have Kings!"
*Kisses the dog*
Get it in and dismiss it as a cooler if they have AA. We couldn't see that coming, could we? lol
Even though I'm still thinking this line is typical of AA or KK, I can't fold and am happy to get it in. With AK, we're only flipping the times she happens to show up with QQ or another AK but obviously KK dominates those. 100BB deep I think it's easy and really is a cooler, although I'm not especially delighted with the villain's line. I just can't fold KK against a single opponent without soul reads.
100BB deep with AKs... meh... still fold to the min-5-bet. Again, we're hoping for 70% equity at best, but think we're probably 50% or worse.
We have little history with the villain, so they shouldn't be 5-betting too light against us. We shouldn't expect them to, at least. Most players aren't min-3-betting and min-5-betting light, either way, and when they do it's usually a legitimate hand. We also know that we're going to have our 4-bet called by non-believers a fair amount, blind on blind in a vacuum, so we do want to 4-bet our AKs.
