Balancing is meaningless here imo vs a likely non thinking player in a table that's about to become 6 handed. The only factor that's really relevant is whether or not we can assume a random has better hands i.e A5 7x 8x, - I think we can asume this given the passive nature of so many microstakes fish. The other factor is whether or not we can assume a random fish will often call with A high here - I feel like this is a bit of a hopeful assumption without having at least some sort of read to back this up.

All the crap about metagame balancing our value range and whether or not we want him to see we opened the BU with 5 high is irrelevant compared to the above 2 factors imo.
