This is my 6th hand at the table. No real reliable reads but the UTG player hasn't been involved in a hand yet. So I can assume they aren't too crazy.

When the UTG player 4-bets, I am pretty sure they have a big pair or AK. But probably a big pair since not too many people at this limit are aggressive enough to 4-bet AK. Some are and this was an unknown so anything is possible. I decide to call and lead into any flop... and hope they call or shove because I have under-represented my hand so much. It should be very easy to get in on the flop.

I know this isn't a normal way to play AA. But, with the last few pots being so small at the table and such weak action pre-flop, I really thought 5-bet shoving pre-flop was going to fold all the hands I wanted in.

Comments? Suggestions? Flames?

just get it in preflop.

the rest is standard.

Am I out-thinking myself here when I think that a 5-bet shove looks too much like AA and people are capable of figuring that out and folding QQ and under?

can you 5 bet shove any 2 cards and get people to fold anything aside from AA/KK?

not at 5nl, i think at 5nl they think that only they have cards

SHOVE PREFLOP.

Why get fancy at 5NL? You have the best hand, just keep raising with it.

Also, I think I've only ever seen a 4bet/fold once at 5NL. He's calling when you shove, so shove and enjoy your easy money.
