Yeah, I assumed a shove is very heavily skewed towards KK+, especially with no history. So is a 5bet/fold terrible in this situation? Even getting over 2 to 1 on a call?
I feel like it's hard to make a flat profitable, even though I have position, and even if I'm giving villain a mixed range with hands including premiums as well as stuff like Axs and medium PPs.
The other option is to just fold to a 4-bet until I have reason to believe that villain has bluffs in his 4-bet range.
