xcrack, fyi: AKos is not a big pair, although you may be a preflop favorite, your are still holding a drawing hand... meaning you are even behind an opponent holding the most mediocre of pocket pairs.

So where do you draw the line between a "drawing hand" and a "made hand" preflop. By "drawing hand," maybe you mean you need to improve to win. What if ace-high is good enough to win the pot. (for example, you have AK against QT as in this hand) Would you still call AK a drawing hand? But the real reason you would reraise in this hand is not because you're a preflop favorite. It's because you have position on the original raiser, and the original raiser seems weak with his 2xBB raise, and you know you can take the pot away from him if you're aggressive on the flop. Let's just say the original raiser had 33 and he raised 2xBB, and you have AK. By your logic, you shouldn't reraise because your AK is a "drawing hand" to his 33 pre-flop. Say, you reraise, and he calls, and the flop comes three overcards to his 33. (which will happen a vast majority of the time) If you bet out strong, he can't feel too happy about his pair of threes now and will mostly likely fold. You don't always need the best hand to win pots; you just need to make your opponents think they have a worse hand. Pokernicus also made a good post about why reraising is not bad here. Read that over.

You have 14 outs on the flop, either to pair the board, make your backdoor flush, or complete a streight

You have nowhere close to 14 outs here. Your heart outs might not be clean, and you might be reverse-dominated by hands like AQ and KQ here, so you cannot feel too safe about your overcard outs. Even if all your straight and overcard outs are clean, you have at best 10 outs.
