    I wouldn't expect someone running at 13/13 to limp/raise AA/KK from the CO, this is an early position trick (one that I love to see backfire splendidly). Same again with QQ really, I'd expect a TAGG to be raising this every time. I guess if you've raised every time on your BB then maybe it could be these hands. It's tough to put a late pos limpraiser on a range, it's not something I see often. 22-TT is certainly possible, broadway perhaps... it looks like he's playing back at you, he probably considers you as LAGG and thinks you're opening light to defend your blind. I'd be seriously tempted to 4bet him here, at this stage I reckon his range is crushed, I suppose if he comes over the top again we reassess and probably fold, idk, I suppose it comes down to if we think he's just playing us or if he actually has the goods. The way your last three or four BB hands played out pre flop would be of importance to me. I'd be surprised here if he has AA or KK. He might have AK or AQ, so perhaps taking a flop is in order. If he opened from the CO, we 3bet and he 4bets, it's an easy fold for me then, but as played I'm really not sure.

    Tough spot, I don't like the l/raise in late pos, so I'm curious to know if you got to showdown here. If you know his hole cards, can you PM me please? I'm that curious!

    Yeah fair enough. Still, it's the kind of thing I expect from someone who doesn't know what they're doing, so I'd expect their VP$P to be running way above the PFR, even over just 40 hands, unless villain can be fairly confident our hero is rasing his blind with ATC, in which case limping AA/KK might make sense from a TAGG. I think JJ is way ahead here, way ahead. I think he rarely has QQ+, this looks more like 77-TT AJ+, but I really don't know. It depends how hero has played previous blinds.
