I figured KK and/or maybe the other AA. Anyway, the only real thought I had was that maybe after getting some of the money in there I should push and hope to take it down. Although I guess I've always gone with the idea was to get their money in the pot when you have AA.

I am missing the bad beat aspect of this post. Converter issue?

Maybe you raise a bit more preflop? Having half your chips in preflop with AA.. I don't see how you can call that bad play.

But, I guess, in SnG, survival and not getting shortstacked is more important than accumulating chips, so if you're reraise for half your chip stack preflop, might as well go in for all of it, though it's a good play outside of SnG's.

Well, specifically when do I raise more? I kept raising it, and there was nothing telling me either of them was about to drop. I didn't want to push too soon and end up with them both folding, although what I was thinking afterwards was that there might be a point where it'd be worth pushing in the hopes they'd fold. Frankly as far as we got, I really thought we'd have all of our chips in the pot before anyone decided to call instead of raise.

The only thing i might do differently is push pre-flop after being re-raised. You're likely to be called in at least one spot, given the action. But there's nothing wrong with your play here. Well done.
