I don't agree with this strategy. All it does is allow weaker hands to get in cheaper and with better odds. For example, if there are multiple limpers/callers and the first limper/caller after you calls your reraise, the next guy has just been given 2:1 on his call (not including the extra money already in the pot) If that guy calls, the next in line has 3+:1. I say pfr the same amount from UTG no matter what your range is. This is kinda related but instead of trying to make your AA in EP more profitable, maybe you should rethink the problem.......with the real problem being how to make EP more profitable....which is what some of these guys' answers are doing. It's generally accepted that players in a pot UTG have strong hands so use this to your advantage. C-bet more from the first 4 positions (meaing 2 blinds, UTG, UTg+1), when you have something and when you dont. It forces the people who respect you to fold marginal hands/better hands. But more importantly, it forces people who don't respect you to give you more money when you're holding greeat hands which = AA makes more money in EP. Going back to the limp big reraise, to me this is a very transparent move, as i'm only seeing it done with QQ+ at 10nl. So all you're doing is giving someone more information about your hand vs open betting the same amount everytime and them having to play a couple of streets before they can figure out if they are beat.
