How did I play this hand?

[maddo]

Even though I won the pot I was thinking that I played it wrong. Should I have raised pre-flop? And when the Ace came on the flop I then thought that I had a weak kicker. I don't play these weak aces unless I have good position. Should I play more at these blinds? What about raising on the flop? Is calling here weak?

Cheers.

I'm still new here, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

From what I've seen so far by reading posts, playing a hand like Axo so early in an SNG (This is an SNG, right?) is just not a good idea. So consider tightening up your hand selection.

As far as the rest of the hand goes, I think Sklansky says something like, "It's important to remember that when you hit an ace with these hands, you have *not* hit your hand." Fold against the bet on the flop.
