this would be worse if you had Ax..

Elaborate, with Ax I block combinations of AA + and AK, AQ, AJ. I also have a decent 30% equity against pairs below aces. So I don't see how this play could be worse with Ax.

Fwiw I don't think he would have got it in with suck a wide range, in fact I think it would be much smaller, giving me even better FE.
