Villain was 30/10 over only 10 hands. Just moved tables, so no helpful reads. He is a losing player over ~50 games.

... and here's why:

You have 13.5 BB.

So there's no way you're not playing AK.

So with 13.5 BB and an EP min-rse there's no way you're not pushing.

With 40% of original aggressors stack you absolutely have FE.

Opponent's very likely to call with a dominated hand like AQ, and very likely to fold low pairs. If he's "imaginative" he'll call with hands like QJs that you are way ahead of.

Very few times he'll show AA or KK ... by far not often enough to worry about it, your stack and the strengh of your hand considered.
