I've been thinking about this lately and wanted everyone's opinion here. I reraise KK about 70% of the time. Sometimes I like to trap with them and just call so I can mix it up.

But I was thinking if there were other reasons to not reraise KK. Today, I folded KK to an AI preflop re-re-reraise.

The guy in question had AKs (silly, I know). Had I had a better read I would have called for sure (he had just sat down). He did however river an Ace and beat the all-in shortstack.

Now this situation is different. I raised 4xbb, he reraised 8xbb, then I re-reraised 16xbb more, and then he went all in for 72xbb.

Here are some thoughts. I'm not saying these are correct, I'm just thinking outloud here.

Had I not re-reraised I could have easily pushed him off the pot with a nice check raise.

You can trap QQ, JJ, and TT when the flop is rags.

You don't give away the strength of your hand obviously and people will put you on a bluff or try to bluff you off the hand.

If the flop has an ace, you can get away from it pretty easily.

You don't let the all-in Ace draw out on you.

There are cons obviously, but I won't go into them here (for instance, you want to go ai preflop vs AK). What do you guys think?
