call

he raised you c. 2x big blind implying he wants a call and he's got a big PP in my mind. Of course, it's early and at the 11s his range could be anywhere from J9o to AA!! I seem to see this kind of low raise all the time on the 11s and usually everyone who limped seems to call jacking up the pot - you've got CO, SB and BB yet to act but I'd guess they'll lay down if you raise since blinds are still low. I would raise to $150 and see where you are at since you've got a premium hand + position on initial raisser. FYI according to the AleoMagnus way of thinking you should be playing very tight here but Ak is at its best when you can see the flop and a full 5 cards so I think a reraise is in order to push out guys behind you and isolate raiser - am interested in why unreal_nh said call though (get action behind you and then push on flop if it's low cards or you hit??)
