Mid pair, OOP, maybe boring

Just sat down, but PA is telling me Villain is 56/11/1.6 over 50 hands. What's our line here?

I'd surrender.

Drop it.

So I tossed it like yesterday's bathwater and Villain was kind enough to flash A5o for TnB. Still felt very weak though.

Nothin' weak about that. You don't have odds, you don't call.

That was nice of villain to tell you that he's loose enough to limp in early w/A5o -- straight-to-the-notes!

The pot's pretty small yet, you're a couple big bets from showdown, if you happen to be ahead any number of cards could sink you, and even if you manage to dodge all of them you still won't win very much.

Oh, and there's always the chance this guy has A5 or better and has you completely crushed.

I'd say it's raise or fold here. I'm leaning more on the fold side, just not enough sugar for the nickle.

I kind of like leading with second pair. Maybe that A will scare him as much as it scares you.
