Default Re: AKo in the BB

If you reraise you'll be out of position for the rest of the hand. There are already four people in for $10 each; any reraise is essentially going to pot commit you, even if you miss the flop.

If you just call your position is actually much better as the raiser is to your left. Check the flop and you essentially get to act last, as I'd assume someone will bet nearly all of the time.

Reraising is probably +EV as long as you don't run into AA/KK very often, but I think calling is even more +EV, and certainly has lower variance. But the standard disclaimer; it depends on how poorly your opponents would play in each scenario.
