Default Theoretical Heads-Up Decision

You are playing in a heads-up cash game, and you have say 300 BB, and your opponent has you covered. You limp with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the small blind. Your opponent raises 4 BB. Everything is normal so far, except before you make your decision to fold/call/raise your opponent flips his hand face up, he's go the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Now suppose that your opponent plays exactly the way you do (as in had you both switched seats at this point and you could erase from your memory that you had the 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , the hand would play out the same), would you fold or call in this situation? Does everyone agree re-raising is suicide?

For those of you that would fold, would you call if you both had sufficiently deep stacks? For those of you that would call, certainly you would fold if you both only had 5 BB to start with, but what is your threshold amount of BB in each of your stacks where you change your decission?

I realise that the odds of this situation ever happenning are about 1 in a gadzillion, and therefore this had no direct practical value, so please don't flame me for it.
