I am new to 50+5 Party SNG, and am trying to log a couple of 100 tournaments to see where I stand (of course, if my losses are too high, i will move down).
These are two play at the early level where i have KK both times.
Hand #1: I raise to get more money in the pot as I think I have the best hand. When I'm getting re raised I am thinking a bit of pushing or just calling, but i end up just calling to see the flop and I am prepared to push the flop (this is bad with KK, right?). When the A flops, I just call the flop bet to see if my opponent will check the turn /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

Final Pot: t2520
Hand #2: I limp UTG with KK to re raise if someone raises. My reasoning is that this is the way i (long term) will take down most chips, and its early, so there is probably no need to fight for a small pot out of position (a typical scenario is that I raise to 90 and get two callers and i put in a pot bet on flop and get called and I really can be in a mess if the turn card is bad or when I put in a decent bet on turn).
