In the Party 10+1 SNGs, I've been struggling with AQ lately, esp. with a raise ahead of me. Sometimes it looks like AK to me, sometimes like AT. Anyway, in the first hand below, I wasn't too happy with my PF call even as I was making it. But I got the flop I wanted (or deserved, maybe) and figured I was more often ahead than behind the hands she would play that way (in the absence of any read, considering her as a typical PP 10+1 player). Play this differently? On all streets?

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t150</font>, MP1 folds, Hero calls t150, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.

Results:
UTG shows Ah As (one pair, aces).
Hero shows Ad Qs (one pair, queens).
Outcome: UTG wins t1715. Hero wins t295.
These next 2 are just for fun, in the nothing-surprises-me-at-low-level-PP-SNGs category. Consecutive hands in the first orbit in a 10+1 last night. To paraphrase bosoxfan, it makes my gills hurt to realize that I'm playing against these people and have an ROI below 15%.
