Re: 200/400 stud/8 hand that plays like stud high
[ QUOTE ]
Raising to attempt to go heads up vs possible slowplayed AA seems pointless if she is showdown bound, as a slight favorite she is unlikely to fold (and from description she sounds like a retard who always calls when she doesn't know where she stands).

It is not pointless. Getting an overpair out is a big gain for you if you have a smaller two pair.
This is very standard stud high play.
Plus the fact your doorcard is paired and 5's are live make it quite possible the K will fold split kings fearing trips.
Also the same consideration should mean you will get played back at less by aces up.
This is not necessary to the justification for raising though so don't get stuck on it.
