Most people would call it weak but I do not care. I would fold here. I know I can get my money in in better spots than playing against an unknown out of position.

If his blind stealing is 25% or higher I repop to 5.

All 3 options are viable but yeah I think folding is probably the worst option.

What do you mean by button is unknown? Is this his first orbit at the table? If this guy is raising his button liberally and I know it I'm def repopping. This is also dependent on my current table image. If I've been super aggro lately and people are starting to think I'm FOS I'll just fold. Playing AJs OOP against people who cant fold sucks. If its the guys first orbit at the table and I've never seen him before I'll fold.

Button is unknown though so no reads.

with no reads I repop a button raise here usualy. Or you can fold and wait to get a read on villain. I usualy asume a player is bad until otherwise proven.

Probably repopping anyway. I don't repop if it's a good TAG or a calling station. YOu have to at least call.

Yeah Unknown is a little vague. Basically you have no PAHUD stats on him and he hasn't stolen the button before.
