preflop live question

whats' your take on re-raising hands like AQ,88,99 in live 9 handed 5-10,10-20,20-40. I feel it's pretty standrd, but have heard otherwise. ex: flat calling in position is a better option? only re-raise these out of the blinds?
Coming from an online background this is pretty much abc. Should I adjust to by not re raising so "light"?

mix it up sir. taking into account images of who did what and your own.

Live reads and image are very important

AQ I either reraise in position or fold that sad, sorry piece of dogs bollocks.

99, 88 etc is trickier and I will usually smooth call to try to take someone's whole stack or against a group to hit set...easier to hide in live where there are usually a lot of limpers..

You probably shouldnt be doing too much folding with AQ in position...

I usually re-raise all 3. Except I will just flat call with 88 or 99 if there are a lot of limpers (Ie. I want to be heads-up with one person or have a multiway pot with 88 or 99). I raise AQ everytime.
