But there is only one way to know the answer to the 5! Question, which is to call the stack off. I currently have a sample size of 1 in this exact situation (and its AA), but here are two other hands ive personally played at 2/5 which led me towards a call:
Extremely wide fishy V (who i have been pounding and isolating) raises UTG+2 to $20. I raise UTG+3 to 90 with TT. LJ calls, HJ calls, btn (reg who i had played with several times before and who sorta sucks imo but seems to make money at least sometimes, so maybe he is a winner) makes it 250. UTG+3 folds, i jam for 1100 effective, Folds to btn who calls with A8s.
I raise HJ to $25 with JJ (was raising wide, but hadnt 3 or 4 bet all game because this was right when i started at 2/5 and hadnt adjusted by tightening my raising range, and was getting eaten alive by 3 bets) BB (solid player who hadnt been way out of line but maybe 3 bet me one other time)!makes it $125, i make it $350, BB jams for $1200, i call, he shows KQs.
The thing is neither of these were against unknowns, so its possible table image was part of it and didnt include back 4! Bets, so yeah i dont know how often people are jamming in this specific spot yet. I dont know if much of anyone here has the requisite sample size in this extremely specific situation to know for sure, which may wel be why the opinions are so widespread.
