    Default AA in the BB, 1st hand

    18 man SNG, and I wake up with AA on the 1st hand. Obviously since Im on pokerstars I was a bit paranoid. How did I play this? good or bad? Not sure if I like my play or not.

    Your pre-flop raise is a bit on the large side but not by much. Everything else is fine.

    Why push there?

    If he has a King, for sure he calls and you're out. If he doesn't, he folds and you don't get more chips out of him.

    Because it's a $5.50 SnG and you'll get calls from TT, JJ, QQ, 9x and random crap all the time.

    In a tourney this small on Stars I open shove expecting at least 3 callers.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    This.

    Or just check turn and see if you can get a bluff, if you're willing to push all in are you willing to call all in?
