Default Strange Spot Preflop with AKs

No reads and no stats, no idea how villain got his stack.

In a shorthanded game I'm more inclined to shove here ... mostly because I often don't believe open limps in MP.

What line do you take considering this is full ring?

Is this full ring thing a new kind of delicacy?

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't see much difference given it's HU and you are OOP. I shove. With the dead money in the pot, it's +EV vs most PPs. If he has AA/KK, oh well. Anything else is destroyed.

Yeah, you're raising $95 to win $105 if he calls. I think it might be more +EV to call and see a flop and push if you hit an A, K or a flush draw. Especially if player might call off some more after you hit (however unlikely this may be).
