Vil was 13/5 over 200 hands, had a standard raise size of 3bb but opened to 4bb with premiums (inc. AA and KK shown down).

I certainly would not stack off against this villain pre with AK as I'm almost always crushed, and this seems to be the only choice - shove or fold.

How do you play this sort of situation?

If he's 13/5 I fold pre. Do you have a complete station and/or maniac at the table? If I had someone who is calling every single hand pre I might try this line with QQ+/AK.

Craziest stats are 50/13 (to my right ).

Well, I'm curious but not curious enough to call. If it was the 50/13 guy I would snapshove.

Folding > Shoving

In this situation.

It could be a misclick, but against a 13/5 player I'm folding anything worse than QQ.

No idea what the UI is like on partygaming but I'll asume there are buttons like "3 Big Blind" and "Pot" near the bet slider which can easily cause a misclick.

I there have been a couple of times recently when I've stopped using hotkeys on my left hand cause I'm taking a drink or w/e and used clicks instead and ended up miclick betting 29.25bbs or some nonsense.

Unless you have specific reads that says villain is a loon I'd fold here.
