Ok, I have position and I simply move in w/ KK. There is limping and one raise before me. Original raiser might play decent (not a long history though). I would like to discuss my line.

Now there´s certainly more than one option here. You don´t see this play very often, so I´d like to hear what you think about it.
This is what I thought:
--> any other reraise size should be big enough to provide against setminers, that is, it´s big enough to fold out most JJ-/TT- hands, plus
--> If he has AA, he´d be coming over the top, and I have to call because the remote posibility of AK in his hand makes this correct, the game being only slightly deeper than 100BB
--> as he´s gonna get me all in with AA anyway, I´d like to focus on gettin the most out of AK and QQ.
--> I´ve been experimenting with shoving w/ AK for a while, and it´s completly amazing what kind of calls you see. Specificaly AK seems to call a lot.
--> and specificaly AK might be hard to melk postflop, as the very last King would have to flop for that.
--> I´m not sure how much value I am loosing against QQ. I´m not shoving here against a bad player, who´s gonna get stacked w/ QQ overpair. But here, the villain probably is a multitabling abc regular who doesn´t necesarrily get stacked if his Queens see a nice flop. And... doesn´t my play like I am getting crazy w/ AK rather than KK?
Is my reasoning way off?
Thank you.
