firstly i think you should raise this preflop. I dont like limp reraising unless i have AA-KK.

this is really bad, DUCY?

While it is bad to limit your range so much, his point that AKo typically isn't strong enough to lrr is valid. Whether it's suitable in this game, I don't know, but in games where it isn't suitable, it's good to balance your AA/KK lrr's with bluffing hands - i.e. those of your hands you would be folding which do best against the range that opponents play against your lrr. By lrring a marginal hand instead of a hand you'd otherwise be folding, you trade in the positive EV you could have by taking a different line with the marginal hand, whereas by lrring the top of your folding range you don't have any opportunity cost. FWIW I used to balance my AA lrr's with 56s and 67s sometimes, now I usually have different favorites.
