[NL100] AKs in SB, line check

[awvdh]

Villain is 20/14/2 over a 200+ hands. We didn't really tangle up to this point. I reraised his button raise 2 times before, both times he folded.

Do you like this line? If not, why?

I prefer betting the flop. Now your flop play is showing so much strength that villain has hard time continuing without set or AA.

I agree, if this guy thinks you've been really aggressive a weak lead or bet at the flop, calling the raise and then a check raise all in or call all in is trapping him when he's sick of you bullying him. This line screams strength and although it is still probably +ev due to your history I think you aren't getting called by the low end of his range, and are not kicking out any hands that beat you.
