Comments please. Should I have raised more? Quality laydown?

Please, I would like some feedback on hands like these.
If I put the limp/reraiser on a pair smaller than kings, I think a call can be justified with all the dead money in the pot, especially if BB would have overcalled had I called.

Later in the tourney, it would have been a tougher decision, but I didn't feel it necessary to get involved with that size bet on the first round.

I came in 4th btw. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Nice lay down. I would have raised a bit more with all of the limpers, but it's not a huge difference.

I am folding 90% of the time in this situation. The fact that they would limp in and than be willing to go all-in puts them on a pair. Probably 1010 or higher, so laying it down this early in the tournie is the right move in my mind.

This is usually one of two things: a)a total bluff with a marginal hand, or b)a small pair (22-77). In 158 SNG's and counting, I've seen QQ-AA do this in Rounds 1-2 maybe three times.

Given everyone's folded to you, I'd strongly consider calling, but I think I'd fold in the end just because 75 chips won't hurt me all that much. I'd call TT and up, however.
