Any stats on villain? I'm assuming his 4-bet percentage is really small since we think he's a nit

I normally look at a few different factors when deciding these:

1. How many tables is villain playing; a lot of guys are multi-tabling and playing with stats like 10/5 or something and only ever have AA or KK here.

2. How long has villain been at the table; could be a late night drunk who feels like dumping money at the micros.

3. Immediately previous hands; is villain tilting from the last hand when his Aces got cracked.

I think this is an easy fold here against a nitty player, how often is he 4-bet jamming with AQ? If its never then we are only ever crushed or in a coin flip. I think if villain had a stack closer to 20bb we could think of snapping this off, but I'm not sure as to the best strategy to play against short stacks, mathematically I mean.

We gotta stick in 2.22 to win 2.94. If he has qq or worse, it's a +EV move to call. Like Wardy88 said, it's possible he only has AA or KK there.

What kinda hands do 5nl nitty players 4 bet jam? AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT? Against a range like this, it's time to fold because of the edge AA and KK have over us.

Like Wardy88 said, do you think aq is possible? Short stackers might jam with those kinda hands. If we add a bunch of AQ in, we might still have -ev... I'm not 100% sure. I don't have a calculator besides google handy :s

You have 43% equity against the vilain's probable 4 betting range of QQ+, AK (win 24,47%, tie 38,53%, lose 37%).
If you call your share in the final pot of 5,21 (current pot of 2,99 (0,02+0,05+0,35 +2,57) + your call of 2,22) would be 42% (2,22 $/ 5,21). That is about break even. If his 4-bet range is closer to KK+ - this is a clear fold

Don't fold AKs against most of these medium stacking scum. You will be surprised how often you will see crap like 99+ and AQs+
