Default Your opponent is playing A-5 in a 2-7 tournament

The player to your right in a triple draw tournament has shown down several hands that can only be explained by him playing A-5. (Calling your snow with A6543, showing 22A34 after drawing one, etc.) Obviously you'd like to exploit this at the next opportunity--- quick, before he loses a showdown he can't explain!

What hands should you stand pat with if it is heads-up with this player? That is, what is the best mix between drawing to a good hand in case he doesn't have an ace, and avoiding a pair when even K-high might win it?

You sure it's not Charlie Shoten? Because he'll keep playing the ace after he's realized it's duece 5 different times.

I think of course it depends on the action. If he's raising predraw and drawing you definitely hold onto the K, if he's in a blind and playing passively or just defending, maybe you play closer to straight up.
