Default 5/10 hu preflop decision for stacks with 88

villain is unknown, this is less than 20 hands in. he had 3 bet me 3 times so far, big sized raises to 110 or 120. i called one and folded the TT8 flop. usually he had been raising to 30 or 40, although once he minraised and folded to a turn bet after the flop went check check on 2-Q-6-K

he pushed so quickly that i think AA/KK can be discounted from his range.

really? i think with a fast shove like this its basically never AA/KK, and very often pairs i dominate and big cards. i think what we should be most worried about is 99 TT and JJ. but if his range is like, 22-JJ and AQ+ then its a call. would anyone dispute that range?
