Are you saying that you would even cold call this guy with T5o? I thought the correct approach was to attack these guys with showdown cards which T5o is not one of.

Nope, I would 3-bet if I thought it would knock out the blinds behind me. I call with any 2 in the BB when it's just me and him. If you're going to play against this guy, make sure to do it HU. With OP's read (assuming it's reliable), your implied odds are phenominal when you hit a hand. You simply can't give up that edge by worrying about showdown value here.

call preflop, cap flop, bet/call turn, check call river.

If he'll cap every street with any pair or an A, call PF and cap flop and turn, then just check-call the river.

(Haven't read responses)

Preflop: Call. No need to put more bets in before you've seen the flop with this weak hand.

Flop: 4 bets. He has 4 A's, 3 3's, and 3 2's that you beat and only 2 T's that beat you. Given your read, you're a 5:1 favorite right now.

Turn: Now you're a 7:4 favorite to be ahead right now, but he could still have 4-15 outs to beat you, so that figure should be adjusted down somewhat. You're still a favorite though, so cap it. (Just ran the numbers and Pokerstove says you have 66% equity against 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].) Also, if he has a bigger, but smallish T, an overcard is a chop.

River: Doh! Now, accoding to your read, you're only ahead of his naked A. You're a 2:3 dog unless he has a 44-99. Check/call and cross your fingers.
