Against a 12/2, OOP, I don't see a problem with it. With a nit like that you pretty much know what he has here. If you pair your AK on the flop you still won't know if you're good or not, especially if you hit your K.

Pretty much my exact reasoning.

The chances of him getting AA or KK when you have AK is ~0.5%. So he has you dominated around 1/4 times.

The probabilty is much much higher considering the fact he only raises %2 of the time making his range probably. AA KK AK QQ.

Right, two thumbs' math is wrong because villain is a 12/2 over a ton of hands...not over a ton of hands where ilikeaces has AK. Thus, the chances of him raising when ilikeaces holds AK is less than 2% and his range is still the same.

I talked about the probability of getting dealt AA/KK. So this guy will limp or fold 98% of the time, raise without AA/KK ~1.5% percent of the time and raise with AA/KK ~0.5% of the time. The odds of him having AA or KK here are about 3:1

What does he have the other times? Is it worth playing OOP?

Didn't think of this though.. Damn.

A range of AA, KK and AK would be pretty close to 2%. If we add QQ it's around 2.5% but it's not sure he raises all hands everytime.

So if his range is AA, KK, QQ and AK, there are 3 ways each for him to get dealt AA or KK, 6 ways for QQ and 9 ways for AK. This changes the odds to 1:2.5

12/2 at 5/10$ !? Wow.

Is it common ? Is it possible to set mine at these stakes and still make money in the long term ? Seems like this guy would be Mr. Transparent.

Yes and Yes. People are dumb. I am 13/8 and beat the game at 3.5/100 long term nl1000 full ring. Also I am 16.8/11 at nl600 6max and am a longterm 5/100 winner.

Not Hijacking,
this same thing happened to me, This guy raises 2% of the time over 1200 hands.
Then he raised 19x the BB.

I folded then asked him 10x what was worth 19x the BB, but he never even said a word. I think I was a little on tilt after folding, trying to figure out what he had.
