Question the first: Do I call?

Yes. How can you not? He's about as unknown as an unknown gets.


Question the second: Should I have check/called? Check/folded?

No way you can fold to a guy you only have 5 hands with. Since you don't know him, he may very well pay off with many hands that you beat. His range, being an unknown, is wide.


Question the third: What hand range do you put villain on (assuming he's a decent player), to take this line throughout the hand?

Why would you assume he's a decent player just because he folded 5 hands? To me, this question is irrelevant but you might very well see a flush at the end. Maybe even 99. Call, find out, and make a note of it for next time.

If you fold this, are you really any further along in profiling this opponent? Because then what will you think the next time you're in this spot with him? Say, in a couple hands? You'd be just as lost.
