This is a mistake isn't it? It was a 11 so I was hoping QQ or worse - i should have folded here?

Call and see a flop.

I don't think QQ is gonna fold to your small reraise here so you might as well see if a flop hits you if you want to play the hand. In a $10+1 on level 1 you need to reraise your whole stack if you want an open-raiser to consider folding pre-flop, especially considering the villain's ginormous raise.

You might even consider passing AKo to that 125 raise. Just calling here for such a large percentage of your stack on a what, 37% chance you'll flop a pair, might not be a great idea. But if you want him to fold to a reraise, you gotta push it all in there.

EDIT: It feels like your reraise says, "I don't mind a fold at all but here are some great pre-flop pot odds on a shining platter if you just call me."

I think folding this in the opening stages of a 10/1 is a big mistake.

I push, because of the time factor. If you get called and lose, then just start up a new sng. If you get called and win, then your in good position to place. If he folds, then you stole some valuable chips. This is why I like to push here.
