10 + 1 PS 1 table SNG... was this stupid?

[Karak567]

I figured early in this game, with the chance to triple up, and the outs to hit a straight or flush and one overcard, this was worth it...

Looks good to me.
With the flop action theres no chance your ace outs are good though.
Also I don't raise ATs PF there but thats just me.

I think you played it alright except for the PF raise.

This type of situation is why I will play almost any Axs from late position in the early rounds on Stars. Of course, as Unarmed said, I also would not raise since you want as many limpers as possible to hit a pair, two pair, or straight draw against your flush if you hit it. Another reason I don't raise is if the flop comes something like: Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif or even 10, 7, 6 rainbow; you are in pretty tough shape to call any 1/2 pot to pot sized bets. I play it the same as for set value, see the flop as cheaply as possible and with consideration of what happens if you hit TPTK.

Now if this was party, I think I would indeed tighten up since on stars it's only 1-2% of your stack to see the flop early on.
