strange bet, but I probably just lay it down until he makes it a habit. There's nothing you beat here and all you really have is a pair. If you wanted to see where he really was you could raise about 1/2 pot. Fold to a shove. But if he's thinking and feels your trying to resteal he could be pushing a wide range... Also JJ,QQ,KK,AAxx are definatley in his range... i think i still just like a fold.

you might be surprised to find that this is aces sometimes

I understand that AAxx is in his range for sure. The question is, what is his distribution of hands and what is my best move against that distribution? Namely, is a bluff shove ever profitable here?

Ethan I'm obviously a PLO fish but what hands would a bluff shove be targeting? Do you expect to get him off AJ67, QQxy, KKxy? I'm mostly just curious but to me I saw this post and never thought the question is "should we bluff" more like "can we call down"

Those are the exact hands I would be targeting (also KJxx). It would be a pretty sick call if he didn't have AA or a deuce, and it's just so unlikely for him to play a deuce like this.
