I think the point was that AK, 99+ is not a "large range of hands".

Re: PP NL $400 Hand - AA in BB
He will raise suited connectors preflop too, it's just that he's not going to raise them to 4.5 x BB very often. More like 3 - 3.5 x BB when he does, and if he wasn't in MP but was in LP, his raising...

PP NL $400 and UTG+1 limps, MP makes it 4.5 x BB, everyone folds to me with AA in the BB. We all have around $400. UTG+1 is a terrible player who will limp in...
