Two AKo folds preflop...

[buddha]

First raiser was 35/20 and the caller was 65/15. I felt the chance of taking this down preflop wer close to zero and that I could play my position pretty well postflop...I have been a little reluctant to build massive pot preflop with AKo verse players who will who won't fold when I feel I can wait to see flop and hit a pair then build pot when I am a strong favorite...The guy reraising in the blinds was 25/12 and reasonable.

The reraiser here is playing 21/14 and seems very reasonable, don't remember him repopping me pre with any regularity...If he is paying attention at all he knows I am a "little" tighter with my PFR UTG so as opposed to the button where I'd raise your mother's uncle...just didn't feel like this was a good spot to make money. Too weak?
