[GARDOCK]

alex isn't asking here what you do. He simply wants an explanation of why raising may or may not be wrong. Yes it's true we don't want it to be a family pot, but let's say cutoff opens to 1 dollar and he has aces on the button, is reraising here always right. Chances are the blinds will probably fold, in which case our hand is totally disguised. Often in NLHE 6max games original raisers fold to reraises out of position. I think that just calling sometimes in position in this case is fine. PLus, with many players to act behind him, one may squeeze if others call. I don't think just saying I raise here all day is enough thought for this question.
