I'm estimating that in 5-10% of my SNG's all hell breaks loose on the very first hand, which typically ends up with 2 people all-in pre-flop. The thing is, I'm shocked with the races I'm seeing MOST of the time A3 v. 44, KJ v. Q6 (it WAS sooted!), etc.
I don't know if it's simmering tilt from their last SNG or if some people just have a mentality when it comes to SNG's that by the 5th hand they need a double-stack or no-stack.
The thing is, I just quietly fold my AJo, 99, etc. and move on. So, the long-winded question I'm asking is do any of you trim down your all-in requirements when it's pretty clear right from the start that you're facing an opponent with a "double up or bust quickly" mentality?
The only thing that has kept me from adjusting my play is that every so often, the guy has the juice (AA, KK). I'm also scared someone behind me will wake up with a real hand in these situations. Any thoughts?
